One of loitering munitions might have landed on Pakistan’s Kirana hills: Former CDS
Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan (retd) indicated on Tuesday that a loitering munition might have struck one of the hills in Pakistan, during the course of Operation Sindoor. He alluded to this during a presentation at the Vivekananda International Foundation, clarifying that Pakistan's nuclear facilities are located in Kirana Hills.
Chauhan stated that Indian forces had deployed loitering munitions in Sargodha and Kirana Hills in an attempt to locate radars in the vicinity, and that one of these munitions could have landed on one of the hills. These munitions are designed to loiter for around two hours before descending to strike their target, if none is found, they will disintegrate upon impact.
