MUZAFFARABAD, Jan 14: Pakistani and Indian troops resumed exchanges of artillery fire across the Kashmir border on Monday after a day’s lull, police said.

They said Indian troops resumed shelling at 5:45pm without provocation and were targeting the villages of Digwar, Chirikot and Sehrian in the Bagh district.

“The shelling is continuing and they are using both small and big arms,” a police official said, adding that the Pakistan army was returning fire.

“There is no initial report of any casualties,” the official said.

The line of control had been generally quiet since Saturday night following a landmark address by President Pervez Musharraf.—AFP
