MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistani and Indian troops traded heavy weapons fire in Kashmir on Sunday, killing five people and wounding three others in Pakistan's portion of the Himalayan region, police said.

A 15-year-old girl was hit by shrapnel from an Indian artillery shell that landed near her home in Nakyal, about 160 miles south of Muzaffarabad, the capital of the Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir, said Raja Ghulam Sarwar, a police superintendent in Muzaffarabad.

Four more civilians were killed in shelling later Sunday, Sarwar said.
