Twenty five Pakistani soldiers reported dead

It's being reported in India that 25 Pakistani soldiers have been shot and 18 bunkers destroyed as tension mounts between the two countries.

According to the Press Trust of India senior defence sources claim the deaths followed firing by Pakistan. There has been no confirmation from Pakistan.

Two Indian troops are also said to have been killed and several houses damaged.

India and Pakistan have advanced their troops along the border and deployed missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

India's defence minister said the country's missile systems are "in position" along the border with Pakistan.

George Fernandes told PTI Indian troops will conduct military exercises along the border in the coming few days.

Tensions have risen since the attack on the Indian Parliament. New Delhi blames two Pakistan-based Muslim militant groups - Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba - and has urged Pakistan to crack down on them.

Pakistan has denied the charge and demanded proof linking the groups with the attack.
