AMRITSAR, India, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Indian security forces claimed a Friday rocket attack on villages in Punjab were the work of the Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Toiba.
Indian border security forces said it had evidence to suggest LeT launched the 107mm rockets into Punjab from Pakistan.
Indian border guards responded with machine gun and mortar fire when four rockets struck villages in Punjab late Friday evening. Indian forces say they have no such weapons in their arsenal and reacted strongly to Pakistani allegations denying they had any knowledge of the raid, the Times of India reports.
There were no reports of casualties or major damage from the Friday attacks.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said recently that he had "credible information" to suggest that LeT militants were preparing for fresh attacks in India, pointing to a growing number of insurgents trying to cross the volatile border with Pakistan.
Guerrillas linked to the Pakistan-based LeT stormed several high-profile buildings in Mumbai, killing at least 188 people in the three-day raid in November 2008.
