also corrected the earlier death toll given by police, who said ten including four attackers had been killed in the attack.
“The terrorists have been eliminated although there was information of four terrorists in the area... likely that the fourth (attacker) was a guide and didn't enter the premises,” the minister said, putting the overall toll at nine.
The intruders took positions inside a residential complex meant for soldiers' families as the army launched a counter-offensive to drive them out.
Hindu-majority Jammu, located in the foothills of the mountainous region, is relatively peaceful but has repeatedly seen suspected militant assaults on military bases close to the frontier with Pakistan.
Saturday's attack comes 18 years after a similar militant attack on the base in 2003 that killed 12 soldiers.
