Officials reviewed with concern, the recent incident of missile firing, claimed as accidental by India, which could have resulted in a major disaster, the military’s media wing said.
It was emphasised that despite Indian acknowledgment of the mistake, international forums must take a serious view of the incident and subject the safety and security protocols of Indian strategic assets to a deliberate oversight.
The Modi-led Indian government took 48 hours to admit the mistake and that too after Pakistan went public with all details about the missile landing on its side.
In a related development, Islamabad has sought a joint probe into the missile fiasco that could have led to a major disaster between the two countries.
