“It was a supersonic flying object, most probably a missile, but it was certainly unarmed,” Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj Gen Babar Iftikhar, was quoted as saying by The Dawn newspaper.
“It is important to highlight that the flight path of this object endangered many international and domestic passenger flights — both in Indian and Pakistani air space — as well as human life and property on ground,” he said further.
The Indian Defence Ministry said that it has ordered a court of enquiry into the incident adding that it was a matter of relief that there was loss of life due to the accidental firing.
