Indian and Pakistani border guardstargeted one another with assault rifles and machine-gun fire Friday, according to local media reports.

This happened just hours before the Indian Parliament is to issue a response to a terrorist attack that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan.

Much of the cross-border firing was in sectors where Indian soldiers are trying to build a fence, reports quoted army Indian officials as saying in Jammu.

The Indian army alleged that militants from Pakistan frequentlyfire at workmen and soldiers to hamper the fence construction.

In New Delhi, Parliament is set to discuss India's response to the attack Tuesday by three militants in army uniforms at an army base in Kashmir, in which over 30 people were killed.
