Pakistan's army said on Tuesday that more than 50 people were killed in last week's military clashes with India which ended in a US-mediated ceasefire.

On Monday, India said military operations chiefs of both countries spoke by telephone, reiterating their commitment to halt firing and consider steps to reduce troops on the border. Pakistan has not provided details of the call.

The two countries fired missiles and drones targeting each other's military installations after India said it struck sites in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir linked to the attack on tourists in April. Islamabad denies the accusations.

Pakistan said the targets were all civilian. Its military said the dead in the attacks comprised 40 civilians and 11 of its armed forces.

India has said at least five military personnel and 16 civilians died. The Indian military has said its bases are operational, despite minor damage.
