Jammu/New Delhi, Jan 8 (IANS) In a brazen violation of the 2003 ceasefire, Pakistani troops Tuesday intruded into Jammu and Kashmir and killed two Indian soldiers by slitting their throats, officials said. They also opened heavy fire on Indian posts on the LOC late Tuesday.



India condemned the killings as "absolutely unacceptable" and "inhuman" and said it will give a "proportionate response", while the Pakistan Army dismissed the "allegations".



Pakistani soldiers, apparently from the 29 Baloch Regiment, took advantage of a dense fog to sneak into an Indian post in Sona Gali area in the border district of Poonch.

A defence ministry spokesman said the incident took place at 11.30 a.m. "Pakistani soldiers killed two Indian soldiers, and mutilated the body of one.



"We strongly condemn the brutality with which the body was treated," the official told IANS.



There was a fresh violation of the ceasefire late Tuesday as Pakistani troops opened heavy fire on Indian posts in Krishnaghati sector of Poonch around 7 p.m. Indian troops retaliated and the gunfight was on till 11.30 p.m. There was no report of any casualty on either side.



External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said that the government will make it clear to Pakistan that the action of its troops was absolutely unacceptable and it needed answers.
