TOP STORY:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Black smoke is again pouring out of the Sistine Chapel chimney, which indicates no pope was elected on second or third ballots of the conclave to choose a new leader of the Catholic Church.
The smoke billowed out at 11:50 a.m. local time Thursday after the morning voting session to elect a successor to Pope Francis to lead the 1.4 billion-member church.
No one has secured the necessary two-thirds majority or 89 votes; that means the 133 cardinals will return to the Vatican residences where they are being sequestered.
They will have lunch and then return to the Sistine Chapel for the afternoon voting session.
Two more votes are possible Thursday.

BREAKING OVERNIGHT:
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — The Pakistani military says India fired attack drones into Pakistan, wounding four soldiers.
India, meanwhile, accused its neighbor of attempting its own attack, as tensions soar between the nuclear-armed rivals. India acknowledged Thursday that it targeted Pakistan’s air defense system, and Islamabad said it shot down several of the drones.
India said it “neutralized” Pakistan’s attempts to hit military targets. It was not possible to verify all of the claims.
The back and forth came a day after Pakistani officials said Indian missiles struck several locations in Pakistan, killing 31 civilians.
New Delhi said it was retaliating after gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists, in India-controlled Kashmir last month.
