Top military commanders of Pakistan and India Wednesday spoke on hotline to reduce tensions along the Line of Control (LoC), with the Pakistan Army reiterating to strictly observe ceasefire, military sources said.

Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two countries established contact a day after Indian and Pakistan militaries accused each other of violation of a 2003 ceasefire by resorting to firing, reported Xinhua.

Indian defence officials said that Pakistani troops attacked an Indian post along the LoC in the Poonch sector in Jammu and Kashmir late Monday night, killing five Indian soldiers.

Pakistan military says that Indian troops fired on a post Wednesday and critically injured two soldiers.
