India has evacuated more than 10,000 people from around the disputed border area of Kashmir as tensions escalated this week with Pakistan, according to a CNN report.
The report said that the two nations exchanged gunfire Saturday morning, with each of the nuclear neighbors accusing the other of provocation.
Simrandeep Singh, magistrate of Jammu District in India, accused Pakistani troops of firing across the Line of Control in two separate incidents. There were no fatalities, Singh said.
The Pakistani military blamed India, saying its troops "responded to Indian unprovoked firing."
Maj. Gen. Asim Bajwa denied Pakistani troops engaged in a strike across the Line of Control, reported CNN.
