Although Pakistan wants peace on its borders, its army is prepared to respond to any form of aggression from its neighbours, Pakistan's top military spokesman on Wednesday said.
"We do not want to disrupt peace but if the other side resorts to aggression then it will be responded accordingly," Dawn quoted Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asim Bajwa as saying.
The warning comes following an intense exchange of weapons' fire between Indian and Pakistani forces along the line of control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir.
Tensions remained high along the LOC.
Pakistan soldiers on Wednesday again resorted to firing from across the International Border in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir in yet another act of ceasefire violation.
"Pakistan Rangers resorted to small arms firing at Narainpur BoP along IB in Ramgarh sector of Samba district at around 1030 hours," said Ramgarh Station House Officer (SHO), Satesh Kumar.
Confirming the ceasefire violation, a BSF spokesman said that Indian troops had retaliated to the Pakistani firing in brief exchanges.
"There was no loss of life or injury to anyone in the firing," the spokesman added.
The latest ceasefire violation comes 72 hours after the last instance of firing from across the border by the neighbouring country's troops on the night of October 19 in Pargwal sector of Jammu district.
Pakistani troops had also violated the ceasefire on Oct 18 and 17 by resorting to firing on BoPs in the Makwal and Allah mahi Da Kothay (AMK) areas of Jammu district.
Before that, the ceasefire was violated twice on Oct 17 along the Line of Control (LoC) in Hamirpur sector of Poonch district. Ceasefire violations also took place on Oct 16 night.
In firing from across the LoC in the Saujian-Kirni-Shahpur belts of Poonch on Oct 15, a seven-year-old boy, Riyaz of Kuiyian Gotirian village, was injured.
On Tuesday, India's Defence Minister Arun Jaitley warned Pakistan that India's armed forces would strongly retaliate to any future unprovoked attacks by Pakistan, and that their strength is greater.
He said that India is ready to have talks with Pakistan, provided it "creates" the environment for the talks to happen.
