India warned against cross-border raids

islamabad — Pakistan warned India against cross-border strikes in the disputed region of Kashmir after Indian authorities blamed a Pakistan-based group for an attack on an army camp in which soldiers and their families were targeted.

Saturday’s attack on the camp near Jammu was the worst in months, with five soldiers and the father of one of the soldiers killed and women and children among the 10 wounded. India said the heavily armed attackers were members of the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), drawing criticism from Pakistan about rushing to judgment without a full inquiry.

“It is a well established pattern that Indian officials begin making irresponsible statements and levelling unfounded allegations, even before any proper investigation in any incident has been initiated,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry said

“We hope that the international community would urge India to stop the untold atrocities and gross violations of human rights in IoK (Indian Occupied Kashmir) (and) refrain from any misadventure across the Line of Control,” it said. —
