Search for gunmen at Indian air force base

The gun battle between Indian troops and militants at an air force base in Pathankot near the Pakistani border has entered its third day.

At least five attackers and seven Indian soldiers have died so far. It is unclear how many militants are still inside the base.

The attack started before dawn on Saturday, when a group of gunmen - wearing Indian army uniforms - entered the residential quarters on the base.

The BBC's Nitin Srivastava reports.
