Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan disclosed that an Indian loitering munition inadvertently struck Pakistan's Kirana Hills during Operation Sindoor last year. Addressing this issue at an event in New Delhi, Chauhan clarified that Indian forces had utilized loitering munitions to locate radars near Sargodha and Kirana Hills, a strategically vital military region situated approximately 10 km north of Sargodha. #WATCH | Delhi | Former CDS Anil Chauhan stated, "At times, it's been questioned whether Kirana Hills were targeted or not, which pertains to where their (Pakistan's) nuclear installations are..."

Chauhan emphasized that the Indian military did not intentionally target Kirana Hills, dispelling any misconceptions surrounding reports of a strike in the vicinity, which is considered a significant nuclear-related military location in Pakistan.
