| Indian has warned Pakistan that it is not afraid of escalation after relentless firing and shelling from across the border this week, in which eight civilians have been killed and around 50 injured.
Indian forces have been asked to retaliate heavily and reject talks until all firing from Pakistan stops, top government sources say.
1Two women were killed last night and 17 more civilians were injured as Pakistani troops targeted over 60 Indian outposts and three dozen villages with heavy mortar shelling and firing overnight along the 200-km International Border in Jammu and Kashmir.
2The Border Security Force said three of their personnel were also injured in unprovoked firing by Pakistan Rangers at their posts all night.
3Indian officers said their soldiers gave a "strong and befitting reply" to the firing from Pakistan. India, say sources, targeted 73 Pakistani posts with mortars and small arms.
4Sources say Pakistan has been told that ceasefire violations and talks cannot go hand-in-hand. Pakistan reportedly asked for a flag meeting last night but India did not respond.
5Indian forces have been told to reject any offer of talks at the border until all firing across the International Border and the 700-km Line of Control stops.
6More than 20,000 residents have fled their homes to escape the shelling that has damaged houses and ripped power cables and electricity transformers. Thousands have signed in at government shelters and many are staying with friends or relatives.
