India, Pakistan exchange fire over Kashmir border

 

SRINAGAR - Indian and Pakistani troops have fired bullets and mortar shells across the border between Kashmir and Pakistan for a second day, with both accusing the other of provoking the violence.

 

Police in both countries said troops exchanged fire for hours early Tuesday, killing a Pakistani man and injuring 22 others.

 

Firing across the border on Monday killed nine civilians and prompted tens of thousands of villagers to flee for safety.

 

The two countries have fought two wars since 1947 over their competing claims to the Kashmir region.
