The fighting was sparked by an incursion and killing of an Indian soldier by a small unit of Pakistani troops in the mountains north of Srinagar, the army said. âThe fighting lasted for 13 to 14 hours,â Indian army spokesman Anil Kumar Mathur told AFP. Indian army spokeswoman Neha Goyal said the latest clashes halted with India proposing a âflag meetingâ - or formal meeting by army officers from both sides.
