The Pakistani army started "unprovoked" firing on Indian positions at 9:25 last night and the firing lasted till 11:45 pm, a defence spokesman said today. "Our troops effectively retaliated to the unprovoked firing from across the border," the spokesman said.

He said no loss of life or injury was reported from the Indian side when the reports last came in. There has seen a sudden spurt of ceasefire violations from across the border this month.

A woman was killed and six others, including two BSF jawans, were injured on July 15 in firing and mortar shelling in Jammu district by Pakistan Rangers.
