Officials did not confirm the state broadcaster's reports that three security personnel had died at the base -- a rare targeting of an Indian military installation outside disputed Kashmire.

Special commandos secured the Pathankot air force base 14 hours after it was infiltrated by gunnies wearing Indian army uniforms, officials said.

"We have recovered four dead bodies and are searching for more. Our men are sanitising the area," H. S. Dhillon, a senior police chief for the Punjab region told AFP.

An army official confirmed the operation had ended and forces were checking the area for residual explosives.
