Hours after "pleading" with the BSF to stop firing, the Pakistani forces again conducted unprovoked firing and shelling along the International border in Jammu and Kashmir on the intervening night of May 20-21.

The forces opened fire on the Indian side at around 10:30 pm in J&K's&nbsp;Arnia&nbsp;and Ramgarh sector of Samba.

The shelling was followed by mortar firing targetting the forward posts of the BSF and villages.

There was no casualty reported as yet.

A BSF spokesperson said on Saturday,"(Pakistan) Rangers called up the Jammu BSF formation today and beseeched to stop firing".

"The befitting reply by the BSF units to the unprovoked shelling and firing across the IB by the Pakistani forces has forced them to plead for a ceasefire," a senior official said.

The firing from the Pakistani side has come amid the government's&nbsp;suspension of operations against militants in Jammu and Kashmir during the month of Ramzan.

The Union Ministry's order which will continue until June 16 has asked the&nbsp;security forces not to conduct operations during the month of Ramzan in J&K.

The ceasefire was violated in Jammu and Kashmir's Arnia and Ramgarh sector of Samba

Hours after 'pleading' with BSF to stop shooting, Pakistan violates ceasefire

In yet another incident of ceasefire violation, Pakistan, on Friday, opened fire in the Arnia sector of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Border Security Force retaliated to the provocation by the Pakistani side. 
&nbsp; 
&quot;Today morning Pak Rangers fired few bullets warning our troops working ahead of fence with tractor in Arnia area and our troops also retaliated with few rounds of fire,&quot; said the BSF in a statement.

Few shells of small mortar firing also took place from both sides but no loss and damage has been reported so far.

Earlier, two Pakistan Army soldiers were injured in retaliatory firing from the Indian side post a ceasefire violation in the Nowshera sector of Jammu and Kashmir on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.

A woman was killed and her husband was injured in the ceasefire violation. Pakistani troops reportedly fired 120 mm mortars early morning in the area.

Indian Home Minister Rajanth Singh had said earlier that he has given the BSF a &#39;free hand&#39; in dealing effectively with Pakistan over cross-border firing.

&quot;There is my standing order to the Director General of the Border Security Force ( BSF) that first bullet shouldn&#39;t be fired from our side but if Pakistan fires bullet then bullets fired from our side shouldn&#39;t be counted,&quot; he said.
