Five Indian soldiers were killed and a sixth was wounded when Pakistani troops crossed the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district late Monday and ambushed an Indian army patrol.

The killings threaten to cast a shadow on India-Pakistan's resumed dialogue talks to be held later this month.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his new Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif are to meet in New York in September.
