"Pakistan troops fired at our posts in Gigreal and Hamirpur areas using small arms and automatics. Our troops responded with similar calibre weapons. The firing started at 8.30 pm and was continuing till last reports came in (at 9.30 pm). There has been no casualty or damage on our side so far," the spokesman said.
On Tuesday, officers of the Border Security Force and the Pakistan Rangers held a detailed flag meeting at an octroi post in the Suchetgarh sector of RS Pura on the international border in Samba district.
