Coffins of Indian army soldiers are pictured through a tent during a wreath laying ceremony in Poonch district, northwest of Jammu in this August 6, 2013 file photo. Pakistan accused Indian troops of firing shells across the disputed border in Kashmir on Monday after last week's killing of Indian soldiers set off a wave of skirmishes between the two nuclear-armed rivals. Tensions along the 740-km (445-mile) Line of Control that divides Kashmir flared on August 6 when five Indian soldiers were ambushed and killed in the Poonch region. New Delhi blamed the attack on the Pakistan army. Islamabad denied involvement. REUTERS/Mukesh Gupta/Files (INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIR - Tags: CIVIL UNREST MILITARY POLITICS)
