Pakistan has warned it will retaliate if India takes military action against it after a militant attack on Indian forces in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Prime Minister Imran Khan went on television to call on India to provide evidence to support its claims that Pakistan was involved.
More than 40 members of India's security forces died in Thursday's suicide bombing on their convoy.
Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad said it was behind it.
The attack has raised tensions between India and Pakistan, which have fought two wars and a limited conflict in the region and are both nuclear powers.
What did Khan say?
In his first comments addressing the attack, he said India should "stop blaming Pakistan without any proof or evidence" and urged Indian authorities to share any proof they might have about Pakistani involvement.
"Any adventurism on the part of India to threaten the sovereignty of Pakistan will be met with assured retaliation," he said, adding that only dialogue could help solve issues in Kashmir.BBC
