Pak shelling kills two in Kashmir

Heavy shelling killed two people, including a teenager, in Indian-administered Kashmir yesterday, an official said, in the latest deadly skirmish along the heavily militarised de-facto border with Pakistan.

The victims, a 13-year-old girl and a 51-year-old man, were killed when mortar bombs hit parts of Rajouri district on the Indian side of the official border known as the Line of Control (LoC) that divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan.

Three others were injured in the incident, sources said.

The latest incident comes only days after two people were killed in cross-border firing in Kashmir, one on each side of India and Pakistan.
