Watch | Punjab’s Pathankot air base under terror attack

Fresh gunfire erupted at an Indian Air Force base in Punjab near the border with Pakistan where four gunmen and three securitymen were killed in an attack on Saturday.

Gunshots rang out at the facility in Pathankot around 3.30am as a group of four-five men in army-style clothing -- believed to be operatives of the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist group -- launched the daring operation. The attack in Punjab's frontier district came less than 24 hours after an alarm was sounded in the state over the assault of a top police officer by suspected Pakistani terrorists.
