The Army today was silent on reports that fragments of a missile, used in a military exercise, fell on a village in south Rajasthan’s Barmer district, sparking panic among the residents.
A report on the incident reached the state police headquarters in Jaipur today.
No one was, however, hurt in the incident.
The police said a portion of the missile, apparently burnt out in air, fell in an open space in Khojraj Ki Dhani vilage. The debris spread over a 200 sq km area.
An IAF team from a nearby station was mobilised to remove the missile fragments.
An Army spokesperson said: ‘‘We have, so far, absolutely no information on this incident.
