The US military says it believes that a rocket-propelled grenade has been fired at one of its helicopters delivering aid in earthquake-hit Kashmir.

The US military said the CH-47 Chinook was flying near Chakothi when the incident occurred at 1345 local time.

However, Pakistan said it believed the firing was mistaken for dynamiting taking place to clear landslides. It said the incident would not affect US relief operations. The US has more than 20 helicopters delivering aid.
