The firing happened in Nowshera sector of frontier Rajouri district, some 220 km southwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Pakistani forces today resorted to heavy firing and shelling on Indian positions and civilian areas in Naushera sector of Rajouri district along LoC," an Indian army official said. "The firing and shelling started at around 5:00 a.m. and continued for three hours."
Indian defense officials said their troops guarding LoC retaliated and the exchange lasted until 8:00 in the morning.
