An Indian Air Force (IAF) jet ‘accidentally’ dropped 5 live bombs over Gugdi in Barmer, Rajasthan earlier yesterday.
Initial reports suggest that the bombs accidentally slipped out of the jet which was on a routine sortie over the area.
Though explosions were heard across the region, there were no casualties reported.
This incident comes at a time when India was celebrating its 67th Republic Day. Thousands gathered in New Delhi amid tight security for the annual parade, a pomp-filled spectacle.
According to Indian media reports, an investigation is underway into the episode.
