The Pakistani army’s media liaison office said two of its soldiers "embraced shahadat," using the Urdu and Hindi term for martyrdom.
Tensions between India and Pakistan entangled in the decades-long dispute over the Jammu and Kashmir region have escalated since July after Indian security forces killed Burhan Wani, a renowned separatist commander.
On Sunday, a group of militants reportedly crossed from Pakistan into India-administered northern Kashmir territory and attacked the Indian base in Uri, killing 18 servicemen.
