Border Security Force sources said Pakistani Rangers fired at Galad post in the frontier district of Samba, 45 km west of Jammu.

However, no one was hurt in the firing that lasted for about 20 minutes, they said.

The sources said it could have been an attempt to facilitate militant incursion from across the border, but it is not known whether any infiltrator managed to sneak in.
