/FLASH - BENT SPEAR// Pakistani AF Base/possible nuclear site attacked by Taliban

Quote:
The target is the Minhas Air Base in the town of Kamra, located around 40 miles outside Islamabad. The attacked is believed to be conducted by the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)

...

a Telegraph report from 2009 said the site was thought to house Pakistan's nuclear weapons...

This is the 3rd attack on the base?

Info on the base:

Quote:
The Wah Cantonment Ordnance Complex consists of three nearby armament facilities in Wah (Pakistan Ordnance Factories - POF), Kamra (Air Weapon Complex - AWC), and Taxilia (Heavy Industries Taxila -HIT). One or more of these facilities is probably associated with the weaponization of Pakistan's nuclear devices. ... The Air Weapon Complex at Kamra is devoted to air-to-surface munitions, among other activities, and would probably have at least some connection with the development of air-delivered nuclear weapons.

The base also is used in the development of UAVs and the JF-17 multi-role fighter.
