Pakistan Rejects India Proposal for Joint Patrols (washingtonpost.com)

Meanwhile, the end of the world proceeds apace... Basically, India wants the two sides to monitor the border (so it knows who to blame if militants get through?) while Pakistan wants a neutral party, probably the UN. Personally, I wouldn't trust the UN to monitor a high school cafeteria, and I don't think India will go for that. While this was going on, "armored vehicles" (Tanks? APCs? What?) were exchanging fire across the border, a first in the current conflict. There have been infantry exchanges, but not armor.
