Jammu: Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged small arms fire on Thursday after an attempt by terrorists to cross the heavily guarded border of Kashmir, an Indian army spokesman said.
"The (firing) has been going on for quite some time now between the two sides after an infiltration bid was foiled," Lieutenant Colonel G D Goswami said.
He said one terrorist had been killed in the incident in Poonch district, 250 km northwest of Jammu.
Security has been beefed up in Kashmir and other parts of India ahead of Republic Day on Friday.
An Indian security official said last week two Indian troops were wounded in shooting near the border in Kashmir.
The Pakistan military later said Indian troops had opened fire but denied any involvement of Pakistani border guards.
