After days of heavy firefights, calm reported along Indian and Pakistan borders NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian and Pakistani authorities said on Monday that there were no reported incidents of firing overnight along the heavily militarized region between their countries, the first time in recent days that the two nations were not shooting at each other. India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all military actions on land, in the air and at the sea, in a U.S.-brokered ceasefire to stop escalating hostilities between the two nuclear-armed rivals that threatened regional peace. 'The night remained largely peaceful across Jammu and Kashmir, and other areas along the international border,' the Indian army said in a statement, adding that no incidents had been reported.
