Pakistan: Cross-Border Indian Firing Kills 4 Civilians

Ayaz Gul

   ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Wednesday said Indian troops fired across the
   de facto Kashmir border, known as the Line of Control, killing four
   civilians and injuring another.

   A late-night army statement said India violated a mutually agreed-on
   cease-fire and "initiated unprovoked" firing against villages in the
   Pakistani-ruled part of the divided Himalayan region.

   "Pakistan army troops responded effectively to Indian firing," it
   added.
