As both nations continued to blame each other for the skirmishes, they prepared for discussions between military officials, underscoring the complex and ongoing dynamics of the India-Pakistan relationship over Kashmir\u2014a region both sides claim entirely and has been the focal point of conflict historically.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">India and Pakistan ceasefire shaken by overnight clashes in Kashmir<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2117609\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>ISLAMABAD (AP) &mdash;<\/strong>&nbsp;A ceasefire&nbsp;to end the conflict between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">India<\/a> and Pakistan&nbsp;was shaken by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3407606\/pakistan-violates-ceasefire-hours-after-agreeing-to-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">overnight&nbsp;fighting<\/a> in the disputed Kashmir region.<\/p>\n<p>People on both sides of the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/pakistan-india-ceasefire-kashmir-6fa80010fa8ffee1da1f28e7b593aa2d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Line of Control<\/a>, which divides the territory, reported heavy exchanges of fire between Indian and Pakistani troops.
