Moscow strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Uri in the Jammu and Kashmir state of India on 5 December, which killed army and police officers as well as civilians. This crime was clearly aimed at crippling this month's planned elections to the local legislature and to undermine the Indian government's and local authorities' efforts to stabilise the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Kashmir attack has once again shown the need for coordinated action by New Delhi and Islamabad in fighting international terrorism.
