Pakistan, India pulling back border troops after ceasefire

Pakistan and India are close to reducing the troop build up along their border to levels before conflict erupted between the nuclear-armed neighbours earlier this month, according to top officials from both militaries interviewed by Reuters during the Shangri-La Dialogue forum.

Both sides used fighter jets, missiles, drones and artillery in four days of clashes, their worst fighting in decades, before they reached a ceasefire deal brokered by the US.

The latest fighting was sparked by an April 22 attack in Indian Kashmir that killed 26 people where India blamed the incident on "terrorists" backed by Pakistan who denied such claims.
