Seven Pakistan army soldiers were killed on Tuesday when their vehicle was targeted by an improvised explosive device, Pakistan's military said, blaming arch rival India for the attack.
ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI:
Ties between the two nations have been strained since the April 22 attack in Jammu & Kashmir that targeted Hindu tourists, killing 26. India accused Pakistan of involvement, saying two of the three suspected attackers were Pakistani nationals.
Islamabad has denied the accusation but says it is fully prepared to defend itself in case of attack, prompting world powers to call for a calming of tension.
