IAF jet shoots down unidentified balloon-shaped object over Barmer, Rajasthan

An unidentified balloon-shaped object picked up by the Indian Air Force’s radar was intercepted and shot down over Barmer on Tuesday even as Republic Day celebrations continued amid an unprecedented security blanket in Delhi. “An IAF fighter was launched which intercepted the object and brought it down. Further investigation is on,” an IAF official said on condition of anonymity. The incident was reported between 10.30am and 11am, he said. A team of the IAF was sent to the site in Gugdi shortly after the incident. Earlier, an ANI report said an IAF jet accidentally dropped five bombs in Barmer, resulting in an explosion.
