India’s Kirana Hills strike was unintentional
Former Chief of Defence Staff Anil Chauhan suggested during a recent event that India may have unintentionally struck Pakistan's Kirana Hills during Operation Sindoor last year. Speaking at the Vivekanand International Foundation's 'VIMARSH' event, Chauhan stated that Indian loitering munitions searching for radars in the Sargodha area may have run out of fuel and hit the hills instead.
Kirana Hills, located 10 kilometers north of Sargodha, is believed to house Pakistan's nuclear facilities. Chauhan explained that the munitions were given a 2-hour time window to identify targets; if they failed, they would descend and strike a location.
