An army statement said that 26 civilians were also injured in Thursday's shelling in Chappar, Harpal and Charwa sectors.
Those killed include four women while 15 women and five children were among the injured, according to the army's media wing Inter-Services Public Relations.
Pakistan paramilitary troops befittingly responded on posts targeting civil population, the statement said.
The latest incident occurred as the escalation of tension along the Line of Control (LoC) and Working Boundary has been seen since a militant attack on an army center in the Indian-controlled Kashmir which killed 19 soldiers on Sept. 18 last year.
