| LoC firing: Pakistan Army captain killed |
| 2013-08-22 |
| [Dawn] A Mighty Pak Army officer was killed and a soldier maimed after an exchange of fire across the de facto border with India, the Pak military said. The Pakistain army said in a statement that Captain Sarfraz was killed "due to Indian troops' unprovoked shelling at Shakma sector on line of control." According to the statement, another soldier was also seriously injured when Indian forces shot up Shakma sector near the town of Skardu on Tuesday night at 11:15pm local time. Pak troops responded to the firing and exchange of fire continued for several hours after midnight, said the sources. Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia grabbed for Jane's hair to make her point. Jane elbowed her in the face in rebuttal... Pakistain's foreign ministry late Wednesday said the Indian deputy high commissioner in Islamabad was summoned and "a strong protest was lodged over the unprovoked firing by Indian army soldiers". "Pakistain conveyed its serious concern on the continued violations of the ceasefire across the LoC by the Indian Army over the past few weeks and the escalation of tensions," the statement said, calling upon India "to take serious and credible measures to prevent further ceasefire violations and reduce tensions". An Indian army official told news agency AFP that he had no information about the incident or the casualties reported. |

| #2 Pakistain is a failed state, with killing and market splodeys every day. Yet, their mighty Pak Army and ISI still try to infiltrate and irritate India/Kashmir every day. So much for their "pure state with sovereignty". I really think these delusional asshats need to be nuked to start over |

| #1 See RELATED DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PAKISTAN, INDIA TRADE BLAME ON LOC FIRING, ONE KILLED | REUTERS. * SAME > SHELLING KILLS PAKISTAN ARMY CAPTAIN: "STOP CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS", INDIA TOLD. and * SAME > CHINA COLLUDING WID PAKISTAN TO REPEAT 1962 WAR: BHARAT VERMA, save on a larger-scale than back then. CHINA desires to secure the flanks of its new port at Gwadar, + achieve direct access to Bangladesh + better access to Myanmar [Burma]. * SAME > CHINA WANTS GLOBAL INFLUENCE WHILE INDIA WANTS TO HAVE REGIONAL INFLUENCE. OTOH, China + PLA may believe the US on its part wants China to have Regional influence while the US per se keeps or expands its Global influence??? * SAME > CHINESE TROOPS DARE INDIA AGAIN, INTRUDE 20-KMS INSIDE ARUNUCHAL-PRADESH, camp + leave after 3-4 days last week. Whihc of course has absolutely positively categorically undeniably .... nothing to do wid Chinese ships lingering or staying "longer" in + around the disputed Diaoyus = Japanese Senkakus Islands in the East China Sea. Yup. You betcha. [WAYNE'S WORLD "THUMBS UP" here]. RELATED SAME = CHINESE ARMY REFUSES TO LEAVE/VACATE ARUNUCHAL - NEW INDIAN EXPRESS. * BHARAT RAKSHAK > CHINA'S DETERRENCE [effective = strategic] CANNOT COME FROM THE NAVY [PLAN] - THE HINDU. IIUC, ARTIC supports my contention that in any major mil conflict breaking out in the ECS andor SCS [West-South Asia?], since traditional land power China recognizes the PLA's military-tech deficiencies vee the US = US-Allies it may initially seek to isolate the combat to within close operating range of its LRBMS, FBM Subs, + MLL/MLS/MLC. THIS WILL ALLOW CHINA TO MAXIMIZE CONVENTIONAL PLA GROUND, AIRBORNE FORCES APPLICATIONS = STRIKING POWER WHILE DETERRING INTERVENING US NAVAL + AIR POWER STILL A DISTANCE AWAY. OTOH, this infers that any US Milbases close to the ECS + SCS theaters may be preemptively or suddenly attacked in first strike. China will prefer a wholly conventional war but to also NOT be afraid of waging a LIMITED NUCLEAR WAR [Tacnuke only?] agz intervening US forces + select US-allied targets. * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Stars-N-Stripes, Other] CHINA SURROUNDED: US ENCIRCLEMENT OF IT WID MILITARY BASES | SURROUNDED : HOW THE US IS ENCIRCLING .... | KILLER APPS. US Air Force returns to Saipan. * SAME > "CHINA DAILY" SPECIAL EDITORIAL TODAY : OKINAWA [+ Diaoyus/Senkakus] NOT PART OF JAPAN. More impetus for China to do the above as per Conventional-vs-Limited-Nuclear-War in East Asia. * TOPIX, BIGNEWSNETWORK > CHINESE SCHOLAR SAYS DISPUTED SENKAKUS [Diaoyus] A "CORE INTEREST" OF CHINA. Again, see the above. * TOPIX > RUSSIA'S CHOICE: POWER BALANCE, OR [to be] CHINA'S "CANADA"? * SANKEI SHIMBUN [old] > JAPANESE GOVT. TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE "RISING SUN" FLAG FROM WW2 IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY [IJN]. Tora! Tora! Tora! BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI! * PRAVDA.RU > JAPAN GETTING READY FOR WAR. * JAPAN TIMES > ABE URGES MCCAIN TO BUDGET MARINE SHIFT TO GUAM [from Okinawa]. |
