FIVE INDIAN civilians were killed in Pakistani shelling yesterday as the rival armies resumed the four-day-old artillery exchange along their disputed border in Kashmir.
Three people, including two women, were killed in the Uri region of the Jammu-Kashmir frontier, and two men were killed near Baramulla town, the United News of India said. The shelling had stopped yesterday morning in several border positions but resumed in the evening, a spokesman said, adding that the Indian toll in four days of fierce fighting had risen to 34. Pakistan had on Saturday accused Indian troops of unleashing mortars in the disputed territory of Kashmir in a three-day face-off that killed a reported 85 Pakistanis.
