There has been a fatal exchange of fire between India and Pakistan along the de facto border in Kashmir. It is not clear how the firing started - both sides are accusing the other of firing the first shots - but the Pakistani army has stated that one of their soldiers has been killed.
Clearly, this is not a welcome development and will distract attention from the campaign in Afghanistan... or perhaps we've got that the wrong way round? Perhaps Afghanistan has distracted too much attention from other problems in the region, of which Kashmir is one of the longest-lasting and most intractable.
