The death toll has risen to 2, once civilian and one military personnel. This is the first such attempt in 2 years.
Our View: Militants are on a look out to harm India and create tension between India and Pakistan, so that war like situation is created. Pakistan in on constant pressure from the US to attack militant groups. Militant group who are fighting with Pakistan on one front wants that India and Pakistan go on a war, so that Pakistan’s and the US’ attention could shift to Indo-Pak Border and not them.
