One of loitering munitions might have landed on Pakistan’s Kirana hills: Former CDS Anil Chauhan

Former Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan (retd) asserted that one of India's loitering munitions might have struck one of Pakistan's Kirana hills during Operation Sindoor. Addressing this at an event hosted by the Vivekananda International Foundation, Chauhan clarified that the loitering munitions were searching for radars in the Sargodha and Kirana hills area.

He emphasized that the munitions were designed to hover for around two hours before striking if no target is found. Chauhan also dismissed claims that the US President, Donald Trump, meditated the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, stating that the decision was made between the two DGMOs. He further noted Pakistan's poor understanding of the situation, particularly in the maritime domain, where their briefings often gave incorrect information about Indian naval activity.

Chauhan also pointed out China's significant role in the operation, with a majority of the platforms being of Chinese origin.
