Early on January 2, a group of gunmen attacked an Indian Air Force base in Punjab state, bordering Pakistan. Blood was spilled.

Two of the attackers were killed in a gun battle with security forces, but two to three others were hiding in a building at the base, Indian media reported. The attackers had hijacked police vehicles for use in the attack and were wearing Indian army uniforms.

According to initial information, this attack has many similarities with an attack on a border town in Punjab in 2015, which killed 9 people. India later blamed the attack on militants infiltrating from Pakistan.

According to the assessment, the latest attack on the Indian Air Force base has dealt a heavy blow to the efforts to restore political dialogue between the two nuclear-armed neighbors in the South Asian region after Indian Prime Minister Modi made a surprise visit to meet Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif in late December 2015./.
