Tensions remain high between two neighbours after gunmen killed 26 Indian tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire along the Kashmir border for a third consecutive night, New Delhi officials said Sunday, amid escalating tensions triggered by a deadly attack on a tourist hotspot in the Muslim-majority territory administered by India.

A day after the U.N. appealed for restraint following Tuesday's deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, India reported an exchange of fire across the de facto border in the disputed region.
