January 11, 2013  18:12
Just in: Reports of fresh firing by Pakistan at the Line of Control. This comes even as India and Pakistan today continued to trade accusations over ceasefire violations with Pakistani government summoning the Indian envoy to serve a demarche on yesterday's incident, which Indian authorities said was a "controlled response" to "unprovoked" firing by the other side.

Pakistan Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani summoned High Commissioner Sharat Sabharwal to lodge "a strong protest on the repeated, unacceptable and unprovoked attacks on Pakistani soldiers by the Indian army" and sought "thorough investigation" by the Indian government.

Officials of the Pakistan Foreign Office told PTI that Jilani handed over a strongly-worded demarche to Sabharwal.
