| 2008-07-30 |
| Pakistani soldiers violated the cease-fire in Kashmir on Wednesday, shooting across the heavily fortified frontier in the Himalayan region for the second time in three days, the Indian army said. The Pakistanis opened fired just before noon but Indian forces did not shoot back, said Lt. Col. Anil Kumar Mathur, the Indian army spokesman in Kashmir. No casualties were reported, he said. Indian and Pakistani soldiers traded gunfire for more than 12 hours between Monday night and Tuesday morning, the worst violation of a 2003 cease-fire agreement between the nuclear-armed neighbors. One Indian soldier and four Pakistanis were killed in that incident. |
