Pakistan’s military and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif swiftly released statements condemning the violence and accusing “Indian terror proxies” of involvement in the attack. They did not share evidence linking the attack to New Delhi.
However, the Indian government did not immediately respond to the comment.
At least three children and two adults lost their lives in the attack, according to a statement from the army.
