General Anil Chauhan, former Chief of Defence Staff, has clarified speculation regarding India's alleged strike on Kirana Hills near Pakistan's Sargodha during Operation Sindoor. He explained that a loitering munition searching for radars may have inadvertently hit one of the hills after failing to find its intended target. The use of such munitions around Sargodha was part of India's strategy to exploit lower airspace during the operation, aimed at keeping the conflict threshold low and ensuring surprise attacks. Chauhan also revealed that further strikes on Pakistani military targets were cleared even after Pakistan sought talks, with Sargodha among them. The former CDS attributed India's success in Operation Sindoor to better situational awareness, battlefield transparency, and coordination between the Army, Navy, and Air Force. He also highlighted clear political direction as a significant factor contributing to the operation's victory.
