Heavy firing from across the border was also reported from the Digwar sector in the district, they said.

Indian troops gave a befitting reply, the officials said.

Pakistani troops on Thursday had targeted posts and villages in the Gulpur and Karmara belts along the LoC in Poonch, they said, adding that a school building was damaged.

Schools in some areas along the LoC were closed on Friday by authorities due to the ceasefire violations by Pakistan, the officials said.
