The Pakistani Army fired on several posts in Jourian forward belt in Akhnoor tehsil of Jammu district, a defence spokesman said on Thursday.

Indian troops retaliated with equal calibre weapons, the spokesman said, adding there was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing.

The cross border firing, which started at 7.45 pm on Wednesday, ended around 2.30 am on Thursday.
