ISLAMABAD: Pakistan lodged a formal protest with India on Monday over what it said was an unprovoked attack on a border post that killed one Pakistani soldier and wounded another.

Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire on Sunday along the disputed border in Hajipir sector of divided Kashmir, with each side blaming the other for the flare-up.

Pakistan said Indian troops crossed the Line of Control and stormed the Sawan Patra military post, an accusation denied by the Indian army.
