According to Reuters, the Pakistani military reported on June 24th that two civilians were killed by Indian troops in the disputed Kashmir region. This is the first time such a conflict has occurred between these two nuclear armed South Asian countries since 2021.
The report states that the Pakistani military stated in a statement that a group of shepherds in the actual control line of the Sedwar region were attacked. It also warned that the military reserves the right to counterattack.
This statement states: "The Indian military has opened fire indiscriminately on a group of shepherds in the Sedhwara region, and they have consistently engaged in inhumane practices against innocent Kashmiris." The statement also states that the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the attack and violations of the ceasefire agreement, and has called on Indian diplomats to protest.
The report also stated that the Indian military did not respond to requests for comment.

In 2021, India and Pakistan agreed in a rare joint statement to strictly abide by the ceasefire agreement reached along the actual line of control in Kashmir.
After the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, two wars broke out between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region. In 2003, both sides reached a ceasefire agreement along the actual control line between India and Pakistan in Kashmir. The Pakistani and Indian armies occasionally engage in firefights near the actual line of control in Kashmir and accuse each other of violating the ceasefire agreement.
