Pakistani troops accused of shooting dead five Indian soldiers in dispute region, threatening moves to resume peace talks

India's army said five of its soldiers were killed when Pakistani troops fired near a ceasefire line in Kashmir. The incident in the disputed Himalayan region could threaten recent overtures towards resuming peace talks with nuclear rival Pakistan.

The Indian military called the attack on Tuesday a "gross violation" of a 2003 ceasefire in Kashmir between the two countries. There were no other details and no immediate comment from Pakistan.

While the 10-year ceasefire has largely held, sporadic violations are not uncommon. Delhi and Islamabad accuses each other of initiating fighting by firing mortars or bullets across the line of control.

1. Well ain't that just great.

.

Two countries side by side, both with nukes, fighting amongst themselves.

USA started decades of arms proliferation since their dropping nukes on civilians in Japan.

And they are still doing it almost 70 years later. (proliferation)

Will we ever learn?

I suspect not.

2. India accuses Pakistan army of deadly Kashmir attack

NEW DELHI (AFP)— India's government on Thursday for the first time directly accused Pakistan's army of involvement in a deadly ambush on its troops in Kashmir, amid uproar over its handling of the attack.

Defence Minister A. K. Antony also warned the ambush would damage warming ties with Islamadad and hinted at stronger military action along the Line of Control (LoC) where the ambush overnight on Monday saw five Indian soldiers killed.

"It is now clear that the specialist troops of Pakistan army were involved in this attack," Antony told parliament.

"Nothing happens from Pakistan's side of the LoC without the support, assistance, facilitation and often direct involvement of the Pakistan army," he said.
