I was expecting some incident at the border. In order to deflect attention of Pak army the Taliban will try to ignite something at Indo-Pak border. Both sides need to tread carefully.

@Indian and before that an indian killed a pakistani and before that a Pakistani killed an indian. Oh my God. Let's just shut up and stop arguing and blaming each other, because that will produce nothing.

@John This is 2 time in a week that this happened. If India is clean why do they prevent UN Observers to come on their side. I was on the border and these UN observers are free to maneuver on Pak side and have documented incidents. Your Army allows limited access into disputed Territory or IHK.

India should install sharp shooter robots on the borders , so that they can shoot at sight . We have money , technology to do this . This would reduce human causalities also .
