Two Killed in Disputed India-Pakistan Border Shooting

India and Pakistan exchanged diplomatic protests after two Pakistani nationals were killed by Indian Border Security Force personnel near the border in Punjab on October 2. Pakistan said the victims were unarmed civilians and called for an independent investigation, while India said its troops fired after three people crossed into Indian territory and ignored repeated warnings, describing the incident as part of a wider pattern of cross-border infiltration. The dispute adds to already strained relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
