Tensions between India and Pakistan further escalated on 6 November after the Indian Army (IA) claimed that two of its soldiers had been killed in firing between the neighbouring countries across their disputed border in the northern region of Kashmir.

Pakistan accused India the following day of killing three people, including a policeman, and wounding four others: a development that raises fears of a potential larger military escalation between the two nuclear-armed nations.

India claims to have lost a total of 10 army and paramilitary personnel and some 20 civilians to frequent exchanges of mortar and small arms fire with the Pakistan Army since 18 September: the date of an attack on the Uri army base in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 20 soldiers were killed and 30 others injured.
