Rockets fired in India-Pakistan border skirmish - CNN.com: "New DELHI, India (CNN) -- Indian border guards fired four rockets into Pakistan on Saturday in what they said was retaliation to a similar fire from the other side. Pakistan denied that claim.
Two unexploded rockets were traced after midnight near an Indian outpost along the border dividing the Punjab region between the two countries, said K. Srinivasan, a deputy inspector-general of India's Border Security Force.
'We have standing instructions to retaliate and retaliate heavily,' he said, adding that Indian borders guards also fired about 50 gunshots. The firing has stopped as of now, he said.
But a spokesman for the Pakistan Rangers said India's allegations were false.
Nadeem Raza said that an explosion was heard at about 11:30 p.m., after which Indians fired mortars into Pakistani territory."
