New Delhi: Former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan has sought to put to rest speculation surrounding the Kirana Hills near Sargodha during Operation Sindoor, suggesting that the smoke seen rising from the area may have been caused by a loitering munition that came down after failing to locate a radar.
Kirana Hills, situated about 10 km north of Sargodha, is linked to Pakistan's nuclear programme. The speculation that India had struck the sensitive area gained traction after Pakistani media circulated visuals showing smoke emanating from the hills amid the military face-off.
Addressing an event hosted by the Vivekananda International Foundation, Chauhan offered a detailed explanation of what might have happened over Sargodha.
