Indian and Pakistani soldiers have exchanged gunfire in Kashmir for a fourth night in a row.
It is the latest escalation of tensions between the two countries since gunmen killed 26 people, mainly tourists in the disputed region last week. India has blamed the attack on Pakistan, calling it an act of cross-border terrorism. Islamabad has denied the allegations. At the weekend Delhi released footage of military exercises it said was to show its readiness for long-range precision strikes.
China administers the north-eastern part of Kashmir, which is disputed by India. Now Beijing is stepping up its diplomatic engangement, backing Pakistan’s call for an impartial probe into the tourist attack.
First India and Pakistan implemented a series of punitive measures against each other in the aftermath of the attack. Delhi suspended what is known as the Indus Water Treaty that ensures water for 80 percent of Pakistani farms. Islamabad has called the move an "act of war."
