Pakistani military claimed that it killed over 100 militants across the country in intelligence based operations after the attack on the Sufi shrine.

Pakistan also closed two key border crossings with Afghanistan blocking trade between the two countries in a move that experts say will further deteriorate ties between the two neighbours. The move is aimed at putting pressure on Kabul to do more to stop the flow of terror from its soil.
