Missile Part Lands Near Rajasthan Village During Defence Drill
Imagine soldiers were practicing with a toy rocket during a training session.
Usually, the rocket lands in a safe place.
But this time, one rocket missed its spot and landed a little bit away from a village.
It made a big noise when it landed, and people nearby got scared because they didn't know what it was.
Luckily, no one or nothing was hurt.
The soldiers quickly went to the spot, picked up the rocket piece, and took it back to their training area.
It was all part of a regular practice, but it landed closer to the village than expected.
A part of a missile landed near Bhadariya village in Jaisalmer during a defence drill on Saturday.
The incident occurred at the Pokhran Field Firing Range, with the missile falling approximately 500 metres from the village.
No casualties or damage to property were reported.
The impact caused a loud explosion heard in nearby villages, leading to panic among residents.
Army, Air Force, and police teams secured the area, recovered the missile part, and returned it to the firing range.
