Now America has also come on India’s side. The US said that it was just an accidental incident; it was not a deliberate attack. The US has said that there is no other reason than the accidental launch of the missile.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a daily press conference on Monday, “As you have heard from our Indian colleagues that this incident was nothing but a mistake, we also have to be behind it.” No other reason can be seen.
Price said in response to a question, ‘You should ask any other question in this regard to the Indian Defense Ministry. He had issued a statement on March 9 clarifying what had actually happened that day. We cannot comment other than that.
Pakistan’s army had claimed that this missile had taken off from Sirsa in India and after some time the missile changed its direction and turned towards Pakistan.

Pakistan had asked India to tell which missile it had fired. It was also said from Pakistan that the Pakistani Air Force was monitoring the object coming from the Indian side. India called it an accident due to a technical fault.
