Pakistan Accuses India of Firing Shells Across Kashmir Border
Tensions rising
Pakistan accused Indian troops of firing shells across the disputed border in Kashmir on Monday after last week's killing of Indian soldiers set off a wave of skirmishes between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
Tension along the 740-km (445-mile) Line of Control that divides Kashmir flared on August 6 when five Indian soldiers were ambushed and killed in the Poonch region. New Delhi blamed the attack on the Pakistan army. Islamabad denied involvement.
