| India accuses Pakistan of cease-fire violation |
| 2010-10-26 |
| [Dawn] India on Monday accused Pakistain of violating a cease-fire agreement in Kashmir after an Indian army soldier was killed in gunfire allegedly from Pakistain's side of the disputed Himalayan region. Army front man Lt. Col. Biplab Nath said that Pak soldiers fired machine guns and rockets on an Indian military post late Sunday night, killing the soldier near the frontier. The Mighty Pak Army could not immediately be reached for comment Monday. India and Pakistain have fought two wars over Kashmir since they gained independence more than 60 years ago, but their forces have observed a cease-fire there since November 2003, albeit one punctuated by occasional incidents of shooting. India also accuses Pakistain of helping hard boyz cross from its portion of Kashmir to the Indian side, which Pakistain denies. Sunday's shooting occurred in Poonch sector, 110 miles southwest of Srinagar, Nath said. He said the Indian side did not retaliate as they did not want the situation to escalate. ''We're lodging a protest with our Pak counterparts at an appropriate level,'' he said. |
