Pakistani troops on Friday fired on Indian forward posts along the International Border in Jammu and Kashmir, said an officer of the Border Security Force.

Pakistan Rangers fired on Border outposts along IB in the Pindi forward area along IB of R S Pura belt of Jammu district around 9.35 am, the officer said.

The small arms firing went on for a brief period, he said, adding that BSF troops guarding the border fired back, resulting in exchanges.

There was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing, he said.

Pakistani troops had violated ceasefire along the Line of Control on June 26 by resorting to unprovoked firing for nearly 30 minutes in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.

There were five ceasefire violations by Pakistan in June.
