The Indian Air Force (IAF) has blamed officials from its missile squadron for an incident that accidentally launched a missile into Pakistan.
The incident occurred on March 9 when a BrahMos missile was fired accidentally and landed in the Pakistan territory. The inquiry was done by a senior IAF official.
"More than one official has been found blameworthy for the incident which was totally avoidable. The guilty officials would be given a swift and severe punishment," the Asian News International (ANI) quoted government sources as saying.
The court of inquiry also found a clear violation of standard operating procedures by the officials concerned, they said.
