Srinagar, India : Pakistani forces again opened firing on Indian troops in the Nariya post, in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, Wednesday.
No casualty reported so far.
Earlier, on Monday evening at least 12 Pakistani troops crossed into Indian territory and opened fire in the Lepa Valley of Nawgam sector in Kupwara district killing an Indian jawan.
Indian forces returned the fire driving the intruders back.
Four of the intruders were reportedly killed in the exchange of firing.
Meanwhile, the 16-hour exchange of fire along the Line of Control (LoC) was halted Tuesday as the two sides held a flag meeting in a bid to ease the tension.
India on Monday told Pakistan to respect the 2003 ceasefire agreement between the two countries.
“The increase in ceasefire violations and firings across the LoC is a matter of concern to India,” Defence Minister A K Antony said in a statement in New Delhi on Tuesday, a day after Army troops repulsed a Pakistani incursion in the Nowgam sector of northern Kashmir which left one Indian soldier dead.
