In September 2016 , '' jihadi '' militants attacked the Indian brigade headquarters in Uri , close to the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir . The attack resulted in the death of 19 soldiers , described as the deadliest attack in over two decades . India suspected JeM for the attack . It also made its feelings felt with heavy rhetoric , the Indian Home Minister calling Pakistan a " terrorist state " and noting that the perpetrators were " highly trained , heavily armed , and specially equipped " . Pakistan denied involvement . India then launched a diplomatic offensive , trying to isolate Pakistan in the world community . On 28 September , it declared that it carried out " surgical strikes " on terrorist launchpads in Pakistani-administered Kashmir . The claim was however denied by Pakistan
