SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Troops of India and Pakistan on Tuesday exchanged heavy fire and targeted each other's positions on Line of Control (LoC), dividing Kashmir, Indian officials said.
The two sides exchanged fire in Nowshera sector of frontier Rajouri district, about 220 km southwest of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Indian Defense officials said the exchange started on Monday evening and continued until early Tuesday. There were no reports of any casualty or injury to the Indian side.
The troops of India and Pakistan intermittently exchange fire on 720 km-long LoC and 198 km International Border in Kashmir, despite an agreement in 2003 to observe a cease-fire. Though some violations have been reported on both sides, the cease-fire remains in effect.
