Islamabad: The Pakistani army says a soldier accidentally crossed the Line of Control into Indian territory  and authorities are in touch with India to have him returned.

The Associated Press said a Pakistani military official crossed  the LoC on Thursday afternoon in Khoi Ratta sector.

Both countries have traded new charges of  firing and  ceasefire violations along the 742-km Line of Control.

On January 8, relations plummeted after Pakistani soldiers killed two Indian soldiers on Indian territory.  One of the bodies was found decapitated.
