The United States condemned in the strongest terms the terrorist attack on an Indian Central Reserve Police Force convoy in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

US Department of State said this in a statement.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the victims and their families, and wish a speedy recovery to those injured. The United States is resolutely committed to working with the Indian government to combat terrorism in all its forms," the statement said.

"The UN designated, Pakistan-based terrorist group Jaish-e-Muhammad has claimed responsibility for this heinous act. We call on all countries to uphold their responsibilities pursuant to UN Security Council resolutions to deny safe haven and support for terrorists."
