Earlier in the day, India's Ministry of External Affairs summoned Pakistan's envoy and served a strong demarche, demanding Islamabad take stern action against the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed, which has taken responsibility for the attack.
A bomb hit a paramilitary convoy on Thursday, killing 40 officials from India's Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Pulwama of Indian-controlled Kashmir. A Pakistan-based Islamist group, Jaish-e Mohammad, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
