One soldier has been killed in firing by Pakistani Rangers in Machhal Sector of Kupwara district, Jammu and Kashmir.

Two Lashkar-e-Tayyaba terrorists were also killed in an encounter with security forces in the Watergam area of Baramulla district in the state.

Meanwhile, India summoned Pak Deputy High Commissioner on Wednesday and conveyed strong concern on continued ceasefire violations and endangering safety of its High Commission officials.

"The government conveyed (to Pak deputy HC that) such loss of life is unacceptable. Injuries to civilians during shelling by Pak are deplorable and were strongly condemned," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.

"The government also protested the manner in which photographs of eight officials of High Commission of India in Islamabad were prominently displayed in newspapers in the wake of factually incorrect allegations by the government of Pakistan and conveyed  that this is against basic norms of diplomatic practice and courtesy, besides having potential to endanger their security and safety," he said.

"It is expected that Pak side will desist from such actions and will ensure security of all members of Indian High Commission in Islamabad," Swarup said.
