An Indian army spokesman said soldiers had retaliated after Pakistani troops opened fire.

Pakistan said the shooting, in the Battal sector of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, known as Azad Kashmir, took place on Monday night, just days after the nuclear-armed neighbours held their first official talks in more than year.

"An innocent boy and a girl were seriously injured due to unprovoked firing by Indian troops across the Line of Control," a military official said, referring to the line dividing the Pakistani and Indian portions of the Himalayan region.

"Pakistani troops responded effectively," he said without giving details.

Indian army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Biplab Nath said Pakistani troops also fired several rocket-propelled grenades.

"We retaliated after 30 minutes, aiming only on Pakistani military posts," Nath said.
