Accidental fire breaks out at Sialkot Garrison’s ammunition shed: ISPR

RAWALPINDI – A huge fire erupted at an ammunition shed near Sialkot Garrison due to a short circuit and was controlled after swift response while no life or property loss was reported, the military media wing said Sunday.

“Due to effective and timely response, the damages were immediately contained and fire has been extinguished,” Inter-services Public Relations confirmed in a statement after Indian media spawned a high volume of misinformation about the incident.

Sialkot DPO Umer Saeed Malik told a local media outlet that the blaze erupted early morning in the cantonment area after which several blasts were heard in adjourning areas.
