The two sides targeted each other's positions and civilian areas in frontier Rajouri district, about 200 km southwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. The exchange started at 4.15 PM (local time) and is going on since then. So far, there were no reports of any damage or loss of life.

Last week five civilians were wounded and several houses damaged in a similar exchange of fire between the two sides on the LoC.
