ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Indian military shelling in the disputed territory of Kashmir has killed at least four Pakistani soldiers, Pakistan’s military says, prompting fresh exchanges of fire between the South Asian neighbours.
"Indian troops targeted an army vehicle moving along the [Line of Control] along Neelum River at Athmaqam," said a Pakistani military statement on Sunday, confirming that Pakistani troops had responded to the firing.
The vehicle plunged into the river, drowning the four soldiers, the statement said.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the incident and "praised the prompt response by Pakistan army in thwarting the attack", a statement by his office said.
Lieutenant Colonel Rajesh Kalia, a spokesman for India's defence ministry, said he had no knowledge of the incident, Reuters news agency reported.

India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in full but administer separate parts of it, divided by the Line of Control (LoC), which serves as a defacto border. Skirmishes across the LoC have become increasingly common in the last year, despite a 2003 ceasefire agreement.
Tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours have been high in recent months, particularly in the Kashmir region. Last July, Indian security forces killed a young Kashmiri fighter, prompting months of street protests and an ensuing security crackdown in Indian-administered Kashmir that has killed at least 100 people.
The crackdown also prompted several attacks on Indian military bases in the area, which the Indian government blamed on Pakistan-based groups. Pakistan denies providing sanctuary to such groups.
Tensions ratcheted up even higher after India’s military claimed to have carried out “surgical strikes” on the Pakistani side of the LoC in September, targeting bases operated by armed groups fighting for Kashmiri independence from India.
Pakistan denies the strikes ever took place.
Since September, Pakistan’s military says Indian shelling across the LoC has intensified, with more than 900 incidents recorded, mainly resulting in civilian casualties, according to a statement released earlier on Sunday.
Indian denies initiating hostilities, and alleges that the skirmishes have been started by Pakistani forces shelling Indian positions and civilians. Pakistan denies the charge. Al Jazeera is unable to independently verify the allegations as access to the area is severely restricted by the militaries on both sides.
Dozens of civilians have been killed in the months of violence on both sides of the LoC, according to local media reports.

原标题：巴基斯坦军方说巴印在克什米尔地区再次发生交火
新华社伊斯兰堡7月19日电（记者季伟）巴基斯坦军方19日说，印度军队当天再次在克什米尔地区对巴方“无故”开火，巴军方对印军的袭击进行了回击。
巴三军新闻局当晚发表声明说，印军当天在克什米尔地区巴印实际控制线附近对巴方一侧的军事据点和平民进行炮击，造成1名巴士兵死亡、2名士兵受伤，平民中有2人死亡、5人受伤。
声明说，巴军方对印军的袭击进行回击，摧毁了朝巴方开火的印军据点，打死至少5名印度士兵，打伤多人。声明表示，印度任何无端违反停火协议的行为都将遭到巴军方强有力的回击。
当天早些时候，巴基斯坦外交部召见印度驻巴副高级专员辛格，对印方18日在克什米尔地区违反停火协议并造成巴方人员伤亡表示抗议，要求印方遵守双方2003年达成的停火协议。
巴外交部声明说，印度军队18日在克什米尔实际控制线附近向巴方一侧开火，造成2名巴平民死亡，另有6人受伤。巴方对印方违反停火协议并向平民开火的行为予以谴责。
巴三军新闻局局长阿西夫·加富尔16日在一个新闻发布会上说，今年以来，印度在克什米尔地区巴印实际控制线附近违反停火协议已达580次，为历年之最。
1947年巴印分治后，巴基斯坦和印度曾为争夺克什米尔地区爆发两次战争。2003年，双方在克什米尔巴印实际控制线一带达成停火协议。近年来，克什米尔地区形势总体缓和，但是双方冲突时有发生。本月以来，双方在实际控制线附近交火频繁，导致多人死伤。双方均指责对方违反停火协议。（完）
