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

Indian media reported that two of the attackers were killed in a gunfight with security forces, but that two to three others were hiding in a building on the base. The attackers had hijacked police vehicles to 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.

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