@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy @anant_s @Levina
-ongoing (as of right now)
-attack started about 12 hours ago early in the morning (Indian standard time)
-4-6 (some speculations of more) terrorists involved
-2/3 Indian security officials killed
- no aircraft damaged
-no breach to the interior of the base took place, they were kept around the periphery
-remaining terrorist(s) contained
- render safe drills are going on in the area
Speculation (but not confirmed):
-terrorists infiltrated into India along the Punjab stretch of the indo-pak border 2-3 days ago
-terrorists yesterday stole an official vehicle of a police officer and perhaps used it to some extent in the preparation of this attack
- calls were intercepted between these guys and handlers in Pakistan yesterday which triggered a nationwide alert (before the theft of the vehicle was being treated as criminal, not terrorist related).
- calls were also said to mention destroying IAF aircraft.
- for this purpose large amounts of RDX were with the terrorists
-An NSG team flew in to Punjab late last night (IST) with the explicit intent of hunting these guys down once it became clear they were terrorists.
- Said NSG team are now leading the fight against them around the base.
