12 Dead in Kashmir Despite Cease-Fire

Indian security forces battled rebels in villages along the border in Kashmir and suspected insurgents detonated a grenade in a busy market in a day of violence that left 12 people dead.

Elsewhere along the 700-mile Indian-Pakistani frontier, the armies of the two countries held their fire for a second day in the first formal cease-fire between the nuclear-armed neighbors in 14 years.

The separatists have vowed to persist with their attacks in Kashmir despite the cease-fire, and New Delhi said it would continue targeting suspected militants infiltrating its portion of the disputed territory.
