After a series of ceasefire violations by Pakistan this month, no major instance of cross border firing was reported last night except in Hira Nagar, where four posts of the BSF were targeted for about 20 minutes.
However, no loss of men and material was reported in the firing.
Defence minister Arun Jaitley had said Thursday that if Pakistan continues with this adventurism, then the Indian forces will make the cost of this adventurism unaffordable.
Jaitley also added that there was a connection between firing and infiltration as firing covers infiltration and it was essential to stop it.
"Pakistan has to stop this unprovoked firing and shelling, if this continues how will there be peace," he said.
Pakistani troops' firing along the International Border on Wednesday night injured eight persons, including three BSF jawans.

Almost the whole stretch of the International Border including Samba, Hiranagar, Ramgarh, Arnia, RS Pura, Kanachak and Pargwal was affected by the firing.
Indian troops, however, also gave a befitting reply to the unprovoked firing.
