Residents and officials in the disputed Kashmir region say there was overnight border fighting between Pakistani and Indian troops, despite a ceasefire to stop a conflict between the two countries.

With the prevailing ceasefire, all schools and colleges in the non-border districts of Jammu and Kashmir are set to reopen on Tuesday after having remained shut for nearly a week.

Civilian airports were reopened and stocks jumped in both nations, signs of confidence that the agreement to halt the most alarming fighting in decades was holding.
