Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after terrorists killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22.

Islamabad:

Pakistan on Wednesday said it has nothing to do with the Pahalgam terror attack and threatened a strong response if it is "provoked", amid rising tensions with India.

Addressing a press conference alongside Army spokesman Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry and Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan, Ishaq Dar demanded an independent and transparent probe by neutral investigators in the Pahalgam attack.

The press conference came hours after Information Minister Attaullah Tarar warned of a possible military action by India in 24-36 hours.

Earlier, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said the escalation was still on the rise despite efforts by the international community to calm tempers.
