Local residents recorded videos of the incident at around 12:45 pm. According to them, the sudden roar of the aircrafts and their continuous low-altitude rounds created fear and confusion in the neighbourhood. Many residents rushed to their terraces to see what was happening in the sky.

People questioned whether this was a routine Air Force exercise and, if so, why such manoeuvres were being carried out directly over a densely populated locality. “If it were a training drill, is it permitted to conduct exercises with new pilots over civilian areas?” residents asked.

On the other hand, if this was not a planned exercise, locals wondered why seven to eight fighter jets were flying at high speed over the area all of a sudden.

Authorities are yet to issue any clarification on the unusual activity.
