India said its troops retaliated after unprovoked shelling by Pakistan destroyed a home. “We have consistently supported attempts between India and Pakistan to find a positive way forward between them and to work on issues of Kashmir. We are concerned about any reports of violence along the line of control in Kashmir,” Nuland said. PTI
