Conflict resumes on India-Pakistan border

Artillery guns boomed across the India-Pakistan frontier overnight after a two-week lull, killing at least one civilian and wounding another, an Indian army spokesman said today.

Shelling took place in two areas along the Line of Control – the disputed frontier between India and Pakistan – including at Kargil, the mountainous area where the two armies clashed in 1999 in a mini-war, and in the Uri sector.
