Indian artillery shells at a firing range in Jammu and Kashmir, India. India blamed Pakistan for the attack and said it would make its rival pay for the "misadventure". Police superintendent Imtiaz Hussain said artillery shells fired by the Pakistan army fell in the Uri area and hundreds of villagers had fled from their homes. 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.
