The debris of a missile, fired by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, was found in the Dal Lake in Srinagar on Sunday. The Jammu and Kashmir Police detected the suspicious object, connected with two detonators, near the Regional Passport Office Srinagar, adjacent to Ghat No. 12 Nehru Park, at Dal Lake. They said a bomb disposal squad rushed to the spot and destroyed the suspicious explosive without causing any loss.

The officials said that the components of the debris will be handed over to the Air Force for a detailed investigation. The missile could have caused a major problem for the tourists who visit the Dal Lake in large numbers.

Operation Sindoor

The Indian armed forces launched a tri-service action, Operation Sindoor, to avenge the terror attack on Pahalgam, which had claimed 26 lives. The attack targeted terrorists' infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK) in 9 locations.  

In a press release, the Indian Armed Forces had clarified that the action was ‘focused’, ‘measured’, and ‘non-escalatory’ in nature, targeting only the Pakistan terror-manufacturing areas. Not a single attack had been launched on Pakistani military bases. While executing the operation, the armed forces demonstrated considerable restraint. 

Despite these justifications, the Pakistani army launched a full-fledged military retaliation against India, targeting civilian houses and areas.

During the cross-border skirmishes, many Pakistani shells landed in India, causing damage to life and property along the Indo-Pak border. Jammu and Kashmir, one of the most vulnerable states located near the Indo-Pak border, also suffered gravely in this cross-border firing. 

According to officials, loud explosions rocked the city on the morning of May 10. Smoke bellowed from the surface of the lake when the object landed.
