On Tuesday, the Indian defense minister announced a new decision to “review procedures for operating, maintaining and testing weapons systems” in the wake of the accidental missile launch in Pakistan last week..

“The safety and security of our armed forces is our top priority. If any malfunction is found, it will be rectified immediately,” Minister Rakinath Singh told parliament..

While we regret this incident, we are relieved that no one was injured, ”he said.

The Indian Defense Ministry on Friday said it was “deeply saddened” that the Indian Army had “accidentally” fired a missile at Pakistan.
