Pakistan opens for « independent investigation » about attack

As the deed happened in a roadless country, it was delayed before the injured could be transported on horses to the nearest hospital. 25 Indians and a Nepales were killed.
India has identified two of three of the suspected assaults as Pakistani and accuses Pakistan of the attack. Pakistan denies all involvement.
Indian security forces Continue to chase suspects and have blown the houses for at least five suspected millitants in Kashmir, according to Reuters.
Pakistan has not commented on Saturday’s exchange of bullets, but both countries have previously confirmed that they were shooting at each other during the week.
The political leaders have raised the tone on Saturday.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi promises to chase the murderers to « the end of the world » and said, according to Reuters, that those who planned and implemented it « will be punished beyond their imagination. »
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says the country’s military is « ready to defend the country’s sovereignty » but at the same time opens for an independent investigation of the attack.
