Srinagar, India-administered Kashmir - At least 42 Indian forces have been killed in a suicide attack in southern part of India-administered Kashmir, the worst such attack in two decades of Kashmir conflict.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said there was "incontrovertible evidence" of Pakistan's hand in the assault Thursday on a convoy in Indian-controlled Kashmir which killed at least 40 paramilitary personnel.

Those responsible will have to "pay a heavy price", Mr Jaitley said.

Jaish-e-Mohammad, a Pakistan-based terror group, claimed responsibility for the attack that took place in Pulwama near the state capital Srinagar.

Islamabad denied any link.

It was the worst since a 2016 ambush on a military camp which prompted India to launch cross-border attacks against Pakistan. That incident claimed 19 lives.



The deadly strike is the latest challenge for Modi who's already battling a slide in popularity over rising concerns of lack of jobs, and could prompt New Delhi to launch a limited military strike to shore up support.

At the heart of the dispute is Kashmir which has been divided between nuclear-armed Indian and Pakistan since 1947 but is claimed in full by both. India is estimated to have up to 500,000 troops stationed in the region.

"This attack will pose a major test for Modi," said Michael Kugelman, senior South Asia associate at the Washington-based Woodrow Wilson Centre.

"Given the fast-approaching election and his increasing political vulnerability, he will be under tremendous pressure to resort to some type of muscular response."

New Delhi says Jaish-e-Mohammad has carried out attacks on Indian security forces in the past but Pakistan has refused to act.

"This terror group is led by the international terrorist Masood Azhar, who has been given full freedom by the government of Pakistan to operate and expand his terror infrastructure in territories under the control of Pakistan and to carry out attacks in India and elsewhere with impunity," India's foreign ministry said in a statement.

Pakistan's foreign ministry denied any role. "We strongly reject any insinuation by elements in the Indian government and media circles that seek to link the attack to the State of Pakistan without investigations," it said in a statement.

Any loss of human lives are condemnable on either side. May the braves have their peace in their afterlives..

it will be equally sad to see any retaliation on civilians on the other side of the boarder. I pray for safety of Pakistani brothers and sisters on other side. would be catastrophic to see bombs going off in crowded Pakistani markets ... peace

poor comment at the time of such a big lose of human lives. why would india do that? it does not serve a single purpose for the country ... in fact MOdi government will be cornered by the opposition on this issue..

Elections are coming they need to be scared and united if Modi wants another term.
Strongly condemn such attack but haven't we see in the past that such attacks are planed to get people behind them.
so was the attack on Army School to kill 140+ children was a false flag ops to justify ops in tribal areas?

Btw there are conflicting reports about the nature of the attack. Some sources are claiming it be a suicide attack and some a remote IED blast. So far Kashmir valley has witnessed very less suicide attacks all these years perhaps only 3 or 4 in decades. If suicide attack, than it will take insurgency to next different level and major headache for Indian troops to handle moving forward. Reports are indicting that it was home grown suicide attack as well planned which is even more dangerous for Indians. If Modi govt has forward thinking, he should clearly talk to Pakistani Govt for Kashmir talks and work on some sort of an agreement. Ultimately this is the only solution for this. Kashmiris are getting desperate every passing day and they don't need Pakistani help to equip them with any weapon if they are opting for a suicide path.

Looking at the damage and casualty count it seems to be a suicide attack

@Lasit Borphukan so do u really believe that Pakistan will get involved in this shit . One can learn from the past and see how Indians politicians have manipulated u guys for their gain. Past attacks have been planed by u guys and u pointed towards Pakistan just cuz these guys think u r fool. U can make movies on it and shout all loud u want but a lies remain lies
 
.
FYI why was telephone and Internet services blocked during Modi visit and why was there Kashmir wide hartal. U guys have an issue and u will have to pay for your atrocities in Kashmir. British ruled but they have to eventually go what makes u think u will rule them till eternity

OK very dangerous situation. Indian govt should do something to stop young Kashmiris to present their bodies for suicide attack. The only way is to do sit down and talk with all the relevant stake holders.

First of all there is no proof that pakistan is involved in this attack.Secondly where the entire local population is oppressed for decades and lost their loved ones almost every single day ,you should not expect from them to throw roses on your convoys.I hope modi will refrain himself from any misadventure against pakistan or else his dream of vedic india will come true.

Let me get very straight with you. Referendum is the only solution no talk nothing just a plain referendum in both sides of kashmir which gives the kashmiris right to decide their future.But again the hypocrite indian government will deny this because they know they will lose the entire kashmir.

Kashmiris are fighting occupation

Everyone has right to live free
