Nuland was responding to questions on news reports of firing by the Pakistani forces across the LoC on Indian posts.

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.
