Jammu, Jan 7 (IANS) The international border dividing Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan here was calm Wednesday.
"There has been no firing from Pakistan anywhere in the Jammu region today," a senior police officer told IANS.
He added that the Border Security Force (BSF) was on high alert and was monitoring the situation on the border in Jammu, Kathua and Samba districts.
The Pakistan Rangers fired at BSF posts in Kathua Tuesday evening and the BSF retaliated, the officer added.
