India and Pakistan summoned each other's diplomats on [date] after India's Border Security Force (BSF) shot dead two individuals it described as infiltrators along the border. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry condemned the incident, accusing Indian forces of using "unprovoked lethal force against unarmed civilians." India has not yet issued a detailed response but typically maintains that such actions target cross-border infiltrators.
