(Kashmir) Five civilians were killed and nine others injured as Pakistani
troops rained mortars and opened heavy fire on Indian villages and army border posts along
the International Border between India and Pakistan for the sixth day running. Its appears that for Pakistanis Ramadan isn't a time for peace, and good thoughts.
Which kind of explains why since last Friday nearly 40,000 residents have fled the 200
kilometre-long (125 mile) conflict zone, between the Jammu region in
India-administered Kashmir and Pakistan's Punjab province. Indian authorities
have closed all schools within five kilometres (three miles) of the border and
have lodged panicked residents in camps away from the guns.
Ramadan death toll stands at 149.
