It was not immediately clear whether any terrorist was hit by the firing. "Things will become clear after a thorough search in the area in the morning," news agency PTI said quoting officials.

The infiltration bid came on a day when India neutralised Pakistan military's attempt to hit military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, Udhampur and some other locations with missiles and drones as tensions soared between the two countries amid fears of a wider military conflict.

According to the Headquarters Integrated Defence Staff, Pakistan also tried to target military stations in Jammu, Pathankot, and Udhampur - all located near the International Border. The Indian Armed Forces responded strongly, and no loss of life was reported.

"Military Stations of Jammu, Pathankot and Udhampur in proximity to the International Boundary, in Jammu and Kashmir targeted by Pakistan using missiles and drones. No losses. Threat neutralised by Indian Armed Forces as per SoP with kinetic and non-kinetic means," it posted on X.

Meanwhile, news agency reported quoting defence sources that two Pakistani drones were shot down by Indian Army Air Defence units in Jammu & Kashmir's Naushera sector.
