LIVE Update : Grenade Blast Near Gate of Army Camp in Pathankot, All Check-posts Put on High Alert

Pathankot : The border districts of Pathankot and Gurdaspur were put on a high alert after two motorcycle-borne men lobbed a low-intensity hand grenade towards an army camp in Pathankot on Sunday night.

Police officials, after a preliminary inquiry, termed the incident as a terror attack.

No casualties were reporte.

By Monday morning, security in Pathankot was increased. The ammunition dump at Mamun Cantt was also secured.  

SSP Surendra Lamba with a team of police officials reached the site after which orders were given to set up a dozen check posts in the district.

The attack occurred barely 500 yards from the outer wall of the high-security Air Force station.

On January 2, 2016, four Jaish-e-Mohammad militants had laid siege to the air base. A 48-hour fierce gun battle had followed in which all terrorists were killed.
