If the reports are true about a vehicle packed with explosives (someone said 350KG), then the cause is within India. Pakistan and Afghanistan routinely intercept truck loads of explosives being smuggled across their borders in vehicles, but we have a lot more open trade and open borders to allow that to happen. It's almost impossible for a truck load of explosives to be smuggled across the LoC, so these were likely obtained within J&K or India.
The problem for India going forward will be the dissemination of IED and VBIED expertise across militant groups, especially if the components for the explosives are commonly available materials like fertilizer etc.
On the contrary, since it is not common place for such numbers to exist in India it almost guarantees that this attack required planning and is pakistani in nature.
Terrorist attacks happening all across borders of countries bordering pakistan.
