India says it accidentally fired a missile into Pakistan on Wednesday, blaming the incident on a "technical malfunction" during routine maintenance.

Delhi said it was "deeply regrettable" and expressed relief no one was killed.

Pakistan's military said a "high-speed flying object" had crashed near the eastern city of Mian Channu and its flight path had endangered passenger flights.

Both countries have nuclear weapons.

In a statement, India's defence ministry said: "On 9 March 2022, in the course of routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile. The Government of India has taken a serious view and ordered a high-level Court of Enquiry."

Islamabad warned Delhi to "be mindful of the unpleasant consequences of such negligence" and to avoid a repeat. The object had been launched from Sirsa in Haryana state, it said.

Pakistan's air force said the missile travelled at Mach 3 - three times the speed of sound - at an altitude of 12,000m (40,000ft) and flew 124km (77 miles) in Pakistani airspace before crashing.

That was something rather larger than an RPG grenade.

Medium range ballistic missile?   Quite an “oopsie” to launch that by accident.

Years ago the US Army accidentally fired a missile into Juarez Mexico to the south instead down range to the north at White Sands.  I don’t know if a Second Lt. and a compass involved in the incident.

Someone did the needful, turned it off, turned it on again, and it just launched.
The way Indian software programmers work, this isn't even surprising.

India & Pakistan will soon be at war with one another.  India is merely probing Pakistan's defenses.
