Kashmir: India and Pakistan warn each other over attacks
At least 19 people have been killed in the past week's attacks, officials say
India and Pakistan have traded warnings over a surge in violence in Kashmir which has killed at least 19 people.
Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said his country would "respond befittingly to Indian aggression" but it did not want confrontation.
His Indian counterpart, Arun Jaitley, had earlier said Pakistan would be made to pay an "unaffordable" price if it persisted with "adventurism".
Each side accuses the other of starting hostilities which broke out a week ago.
Exchanges in the disputed area are not uncommon but rarely result in fatalities - the violence is some of the worst in a decade.
Of the 19 civilians killed since fighting began last Friday, 11 are on the Pakistani side while eight are on the Indian side.
