India and Pakistan have accused each other of resorting to unprovoked firing along the disputed border, in which at least nine civilians have been killed.
Five civilians died after Pakistani troop fired shells in Indian-administered Kashmir, India said.
Pakistan said four civilians had been killed in firing by Indian troops in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, according to the BBC.
A ceasefire agreed in 2003 remains in place, but the neighbours often accuse each other of violating it.
Officials of India's Border Security Force said Pakistani soldiers fired guns and mortar shells at 10 of its border posts and some villages in the Arnia area in Jammu district over the weekend, leading to the deaths of its civilians. Thirty others, including women and children, have been injured.
A Pakistani military statement said Indian troops had fired guns and mortar shells at five places in Sialkot along the disputed boundary, resulting in the deaths of four civilians, including two children and a woman.
The recent incidents along the border comes more than a decade after the two countries agreed a tenuous ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC), the de facto border that divides Kashmir between them.
