ISLAMABAD: Pakistan said India's claim of a "surgical strike" across the countries' de facto border in the disputed region of Kashmir was an illusion, saying that the incident was "cross-border fire".
"The notion of surgical strike linked to alleged terrorists' bases is an illusion being deliberately generated by India to create false effects," the military said in a statement.
It was released shortly after a senior Indian military officer said India had hit suspected militants preparing to infiltrate into Indian-administered Kashmir along the Pakistani side of the border.
Pakistan's military confirmed that two of its soldiers had been killed in the exchange of fire across the Line of Control, which serves as the de facto border.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the "naked aggression of Indian forces" Thursday after two Pakistani soldiers were killed in firing along the Line of Control that divides the disputed territory of Kashmir.
A statement from Sharif's office said he "strongly condemned the unprovoked and naked aggression of Indian forces" and vowed the military was capable of thwarting "any evil design to undermine the sovereignty of Pakistan".
