Six people, including two military officers, were killed today in Indian shelling into Pakistan-ruled Kashmir, officials said.
Mr Mehmood-ul-Hassan, the deputy district commissioner in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir, said the deaths were caused by a mortar bomb that hit a vehicle in the Neelum Valley.
"There has been extensive shelling by Indian forces in the area," he said, while another official said two military officers were among those killed.
The reported shelling came despite signs of a thaw in relations between nuclear-armed Pakistan and India, which came to the brink of a fourth war last year.
