MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) - Police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir said on Monday a civilian was shot dead by Indian forces along the Himalayan region's disputed boundary, the second such incident since June despite a ceasefire accord.

Scenic Kashmir is claimed in full, but controlled only in part, by India and Pakistan, which have fought two wars and engaged in numerous clashes over the region since both won independence from British rule in 1947.
