1stLd Writethru: India to give "befitting reply" to attack on air base, says minister

Xinhua, January 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh said Saturday that India would give a "befitting reply" to the attack upon an air base by some militants earlier on the day.

"We want good ties with Pakistan but a befitting reply will be given to any terror attack," Singh told local media.

At least four militants sneaked into an Indian Air Force base in the northern state of Punjab 30 km from the border with Pakistan early Saturday.

At least four of the militants and two Indian air force personnel were killed in the attack, said local media. Endit
