India Accidentally Fires Missile Into Pakistan by Ogunleti01(op): 8:54pm On Mar 11, 2022
India said on Friday March 11, it accidentally fired a missile into Pakistan this week because of a “technical
malfunction” during routine maintenance, giving its version of events after longtime foe Pakistan warned the
incident could have “unpleasant consequences.”
“On 9 March 2022, in the course of a routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing
of a missile,” India's defense ministry said in a statement.
“It is learnt that the missile landed in an area of Pakistan. While the incident is deeply regrettable, it is
also a matter of relief that there has been no loss of life due to the accident.”
The ministry said the government had “taken a serious view and ordered a high-level Court of Enquiry” into
the incident.
Earlier on Friday, Pakistan’s foreign office said it had summoned India’s charge d’affaires in Islamabad to
lodge a protest over what it called an unprovoked violation of its airspace.
Pakistan also called for an investigation into the incident, which it said could have endangered passenger
flights and civilian lives.
Pakistan warned India “to be mindful of the unpleasant consequences of such negligence and take effective
measures to avoid the recurrence off such violations in future”.
Pakistani military spokesman Major-General Babar Iftikhar said in a late evening news conference on
Thursday that a “high-speed flying object” crashed near its eastern city of Mian Channu and that originated
from the northern Indian city of Sirsa, in Haryana state near New Delhi.
“The flight path of this object endangered many national and international passenger flights both in Indian
and Pakistani airspace as well as human life and property of ground,” he said.
Iftikhar in the news conference on Thursday also called on India to share the outcome of its investigation
into the incident.
A Pakistan air force official said the object travelled at an altitude of 40,000 feet, at Mach 3, and flew 77
miles in Pakistani airspace before crashing.

This Indian dance in Pakistani soil won't end well be it a mistake or not...those in Pakistan know that their trademark is terrorism. For Pakistan, those who will reply the Indian dance will be their highly experienced terrorists.
