The firing was reported along forward posts and civilian areas in Samba sector, about 53km south of Jammu city, the winter capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Heavy firing and shelling broke out along the border last night which continued until this morning," an official of India's Border Security Force (BSF) said.
According to the official, the firing was started by Pakistan Rangers and adequately retaliated by Indian side.
"The BSF troops guarding the border gave a befitting reply to the firing from other side and exchange of fire lasted until this morning," the official said.
However, there were no reports of any damage to Indian side in the fresh exchange.
On Wednesday, a BSF trooper was killed and another wounded, as two personnel of Pakistan Rangers were killed in the exchange that lasted for several hours.
