Daily Mail: Kashmir clash kills six: Mother and two children are killed by Pakistani mortar blast as Indian troops fire back amid growing tension between nuclear nations

* Shell fired by Pakistani soldiers hit home with mortar in Poonch region of Kashmir, killing three last night
* Comes after Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman crossed border at checkpoint into India last night
* His capture by Pakistani forces after his plane was shot down sparked fierce military tension and fears of war
* Islamabad said it would release him in a 'peace gesture' but the countries remain on high military alert

Soldiers from India and Pakistan have targeted each other along the volatile frontier in disputed Kashmir, killing at least six civilians and wounding four others, officials have said.

Fighting resumed overnight into dawn, leaving two siblings and their mother dead in Indian-controlled Kashmir.

The three died after a shell fired by Pakistani soldiers hit their home in Poonch region near the so-called Line of Control that divides the Himalayan territory between the two nuclear-armed rivals, police said.

The children's father was critically wounded and has been hospitalised. It is not known which country the other three civilians originated from.

If they don't manage to stop, this could go very hot very fast. We might get to witness if MAD theory holds or not.

Good luck with that pal, think I'll put my money on the side that reveres life and gave this world the Karma Sutra...

The alternative is supporting a death cult that abets terrorists, worshipping a moon god, and a prophet that was a kiddy fiddler...

Gotta go, my popcorn is ready!

If they did, he probably bored them to death. It will be from trying to communicate by writing a thesis, when a simple hello would suffice!! TL;DR

I've been quite busy. As I explain elsewhere I'm a Certified Public Accountant and am hard at work right now. In addition to this, I have a relative who has been very ill. As duch, I haven't had time to comment and I wish to limit such activities only to times when there is sufficient time to thoughtfully discuss the subject at hand.

For what it's worth, I agree with Fazman's assertion that unknown provided a perfect description of Pakistan. Actually I'm neither from Manhattan or Moscow. I think you know this as I've provided numerous information here on my identity and how to find me. I'm assuming this was an attempt at humor.
