ISLAMABAD, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan on Sunday rejected as "baseless" Indian accusations after the attack on an army base in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Indian military said that militants killed at least 17 troopers and injured over 20 others in a suicide attack on an Indian military base in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Indian officials have said that four militants, believed to have carried out the attack, were also killed in retaliatory fire inside the base near the Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmir.
The Indian officials said the four militants belonged to Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad group. The Indian government had also blamed the same group for the attack at the Pathankot air base in January, in which 7 army men were killed.
In his reaction to the attack, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh said he is "deeply disappointed with Pakistans continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups."
