"Four CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) men were killed in the suicide attack on a group of about 25 men who were on duty," said the police officer, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the media.

Tensions spiked between New Delhi and Islamabad in January and February as a total of six soldiers were killed in exchanges along the de facto border in Kashmir, a region claimed by both countries.

Four of the soldiers killed were from Pakistan while two were from India. One of the Indians was beheaded allegedly by Pakistanis.
