India said on Monday it had responded to 'unprovoked' firing from Pakistan along the de facto border for the fourth consecutive night, as it deepens its search for militants in the region following last week's deadly attack on tourists in Kashmir.

In the days since, tensions have risen dangerously between India and Pakistan, which have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir.

The Pakistani government said that if India followed through on a threat to block rivers it would take it as “an act of war.”
