India’s director general for military operations said that jihadists from Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistan-based terrorist group, executed today’s deadly suicide assault on a military base in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 17 soliders and wounded dozens more. If confirmed, Jaish-e-Mohammed has launched two major attacks against bases on Indian soil in the past year.
Four heavily armed fighters attacked the military camp in the town of Uri, near the Line of Control which divides the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir with Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, in the early morning, according to The Times of India. The attackers lobbed grenades and opened fire on Indian troops encamped in Uri.
“The attack took place during a change of command, which means one unit was replacing another and soldiers were in temporary shelters,” DDNews reported. Many of the Indian casualties are reported to have been from the result of the detonation of a fuel depot and burning tents. Indian troops killed the four jihadists during an ensuing gunfight that lasted several hours.
