Indian forces have killed three "terrorists" involved in the April attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 men were killed and led to a military conflict with Pakistan, Home Minister Amit Shah said on Tuesday.
The attackers, who New Delhi said were Pakistani nationals backed by Islamabad, had opened fire in a valley popular with tourists in Kashmir's scenic, mountainous region of Pahalgam, before fleeing into the surrounding pine forests.
Pakistan had denied involvement in the attack - the worst assault on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks - and sought an independent investigation.
The four-day fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals was their worst in decades.
