The Indian Air Force (IAF) has completed inquiry into the accidental missile firing incident that caused a missile to land inside Pakistan territory on March 9 and it will be submitted to the government after internal review as per procedure, according to Defence sources.
In a separate development, the Philippines, which has procured the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system from India, has formally activated a Shore Based Anti-Ship Missile (SBASM) battalion that will induct the missile next year.
“The findings of the Court of Inquiry (CoI) have been sent for legal vetting, after which they will be submitted to the government,” a defence official said on condition of anonymity. Legal vetting is one of the several administrative steps in the procedure, which usually takes a few weeks for completion, another official said.
