The exchange of fire took place in the Bhimber, Hot Spring, Kel and Lipa sectors, and lasted about six hours early on Thursday, the Pakistani military's press wing said in a statement.
An Indian army spokesman confirmed that there had been shelling from the Pakistani side of the de facto border into the Poonch district of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Both India and Pakistan claim the disputed region of Kashmir in full, but govern over separate parts of it, divided by the Line of Control, a heavily militarized defacto border.
