An Indian government official, Omar Abdullah, has said two civilians, including a porter working for the army, were wounded by Pakistani firing in Mendhar sector Thursday.

Pakistani and Indian military officials accused the other side of firing first. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity Friday in line with military policy.
