"There was unprovoked ceasefire violation by Pakistan in Bhimber Gali (BG) Sector from 1630 hours today," PRO Defence said.
The Pakistani troops used small arms, automatic weapons and 82 mm mortars bombs to target Indian positions, he said.
Indian troops responded appropriately and befittingly, the PRO said, adding there were no casualties till last reports came in.
This was the 30th ceasefire violation by Pakistani troops along the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir since the Indian army carried out surgical strikes in PoK to destroy terror launching pads.
Indian troops retaliated and gave befitting reply, he said, adding no one was injured in the ceasefire violation.
On October 16, Pakistani troops violated ceasefire twice along LoC in Naushera and Rajouri sectors in which one jawan was martyred.
