India and Pakistan trading fire raises fresh doubts about a 15-year-old ceasefire between the nuclear-armed rivals in Kashmir. It was not clear what triggered the latest fighting on Saturday in the Uri sector on the so-called Line of Control (LoC). India blamed Pakistan for the attack and said it would make its rival pay for the “misadventure”. India and Pakistan have twice gone to war over Kashmir since independence from Britain in 1947. India accuses Pakistan of orchestrating a separatist revolt in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
