Pakistan vows 'full force' response if India attacks over Kashmir bombing

Pakistan's top brass have warned New Delhi "don't mess with Pakistan," as tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours escalate.

Pakistan's military has promised to respond with "full force" if the country is attacked by India, following a suicide bombing that killed 40 Indian paramilitary policemen in Kashmir. 

Major General Asif Ghafoor told reporters his message to their neighbour was: "Don't mess with Pakistan.

"We have no intention to initiate war, but we will respond with full force to full spectrum threat," Mr Ghafoor told reporters in Rawalpindi.

India has accused Islamabad's spy agency ISI of involvement in last week's attack in the Indian section of the disputed region, which Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistan-based militant group, has said it carried out.

Islamabad denies the charge, but Pakistan has for decades faced accusations of supporting such insurgent groups in a bid to destabilise neighbours like India and Afghanistan.

It has also accused India of human rights violations in the Indian portion of Kashmir.

On Wednesday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan urged India to share their evidence and promised to fully co-operate in investigating the blast.
