Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif Thursday asked India to act responsibly along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir region.
Asif said Pakistan was fully capable of giving a befitting reply to Indian aggression, The Nation reported.
"We don't want to convert border tension between two nuclear neighbours into confrontation," Asif added.
The latest string of Pakistan ceasefire violations on the 700-km LoC and the International Border in the Kashmir Valley and Jammu region started Oct 3.
The number of people killed in Pakistan shelling on civilian areas in the Jammu region has now gone up to seven, while the number of injured has shot up to 60.
On Pakistan's side, two people were killed in Sialkot Thursday in latest firing by Indian troops, raising the number of deaths in the past few days to 13 and of the injured to 43, The Nation report said.
