Just received a call from my own number. How is it possible at all? Called my operator for details. they said I haven't received any call for last two hours

I've seen this happen. With many VOIP services it is trivial to configure any number as the caller ID. It can also be done with T1 PRI, etc.

Easy as pie. You can buy PBX add-ons to let you spoof any number you care to send out. Telemarketers drool over that sort of stuff.

Did somebody also talk to you?
