ISLAMABAD — Security forces appeared to have thwarted an attack on a Pakistan Air Force base here in the early hours of Aug. 16.
Confirmed details of the attack, which began at 2:30 local time, were in short supply. Local media reported seven terrorists and one member of the security forces killed in the operation.
The air force did not respond to repeated requests from Defense News for details of the operation and its aftermath.
However, it appeared from local media reports that a small number of terrorists attempted to gain access to the Pakistan Air Force Base Minhas and were surrounded and eventually killed by the security forces.
Firing appeared to have ended by 6 a.m., and the base was being checked for any infiltrators who may have remained hidden.
