WorldSRINAGAR, AFP -Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire across their disputed border in Kashmir on Tuesday, two days after a deadly raid on an army base that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militants. Indian army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia, said there had been a “ceasefire violation” near Uri, where Sunday's attack took place, but gave no further details. Uri is near the Line of Control (LoC) which divides the disputed territory. “Small arms exchange of fire is on in the area,” a senior police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity. Tuesday's exchange was the first since Sunday's attack, which the Indian army has blamed on Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad.
