The brief exchange of fire at the Nagrota camp came while Indian air defence guns were engaging Pakistani drones over Srinagar on Saturday night.
The government in a statement said Pakistan violated an agreement reached earlier on Saturday.
“This is a breach of the understanding arrived at earlier today. The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations and we take very, very serious notice of these violations. We call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and deal with the situation with seriousness and responsibility,” Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said in a statement.
