The ceasefire violation reportedly took place at 15:15 hours. Following the attack, the Indian Army is retaliating effectively.
There was no immediate report of any casualty in the Pakistani firing and shelling, the spokesman said.

Further details in this incident are awaited.
Meanwhile, this is the second ceasefire violation today. Earlier in the day, a civilian was killed and five others were injured as Pakistani troops opened fire along the Line of Control (LoC) in Machhil sector of Jammu and Kashmir, officials said on Wednesday.
