Police in India's Kashmir have published notices naming three suspected militants "involved in" the attack on tourists this week in which 26 people were killed, and announced rewards for information leading to their arrest.

Two of the three suspected militants are Pakistani nationals, the notices said on Thursday.

India will identify, track and punish every terrorist and their backers, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, two days after the attack on tourists by suspected militants in the Himalayan territory of Kashmir.

The attackers and their backers will be punished "beyond their imagination", Modi told a public meeting in the eastern state of Bihar.
