India's Border Security Force fatally shot at least two people along the India-Pakistan border on Oct. 2, prompting Pakistan's and India's foreign ministries to lodge diplomatic protests with each other the next day, Reuters reported on Oct. 3. Pakistan accused Indian security personnel of employing "unprovoked lethal force" against two "unarmed civilians," while India said its personnel were "compelled to engage" three individuals they characterized as "infiltrators" linked to Pakistan-based "armed narcotics syndicates" who had crossed the border and ignored security forces' commands to turn back.
