JAMMU, India, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged small arms and machinegun fire at some places along the border on Friday as tension mounted between the two nuclear capable neighbours, officials said on Saturday. A senior defence official said the exchange of fire along the border in the rebellion-torn Jammu and Kashmir state was not alarming. "From a military point of view it is a routine fire given the volatile situation along the borders with Pakistan," the official, who did not wish to identified, told Reuters. New Delhi also moved more troops to its border with its western neighbour following the deadly suicide attack on its Parliament last week and also recalled its envoy to Pakistan for what it termed Islamabad's failure to act against terrorism.
