Explosion reported at Jammu airport, police, bomb squad rushed
2021-06-27
[OneIndia] Two low intensity explosions were reported early Sunday morning in the technical area of Jammu Air Force Station. One caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other went kaboom! in an open area.

There was no damage to any equipment. Investigation is in progress along with civil agencies, the Indian Air Force said.

The police and the bomb squad have also been rushed to the spot.

The explosion was reported at a part of the dual use airport being operated by the Indian Air Force.

Chidambaram slams government for insisting on polls in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....

The blast took place at around 2 am. While a few injuries have been reported, the nature of the blast is unknown. A team of forensic experts too have reached the spot.

"There were reports of a kaboom inside Air Force Station Jammu. There is no injury to any personnel or any damage to any equipment. Investigation is on," a defence spokesperson said.

The police said that they are waiting for a First Information Report from the IAF. The Jammu Airport runway and Air Traffic Control are under the control of the IAF.

#24  I have always felt that a Man of the World should be able to both greet and curse the natives in whatever their barbaric tongue. However, I can see that learning Esperanto was not as useful as I had hoped.

#23  tw, I often say if you can speak two languages, you are bilingual. If you speak 3 languages, you are trilingual. If you speak one language, you are American.
On the other hand, you can drive from Key West Florida to Juneau, Alaska, a distance of about 4500 miles, and almost everyone you meet will speak English. If you drive that same distance from Paris, you are near Kabul Afghanistan.Look how many language areas you have traveled through.

#22  It’s such fun to see which Rantburgers have which languages — and so often the results are not what I expected.

Not just at Rantburg, to be sure. Many years ago, when the trailing daughters were young and we had only recently transferred back to the States after half a decade in Europe, we were standing in the cashier line at the grocery store when td #1 asked one of those “why” questions that are ever inappropriate when the object overhears. Fortunately, td#1 had already reached sufficient discretion that she asked me quietly in German, which since our return had become our secret language. Unfortunately, as it turned out, there are a great many German speakers in Cincinnati, so the object of her question answered in the same language. Since then I’ve noticed an interesting variety of languages in my local grocery store, startling to those who insist on the stereotype of the monolingual American.

#8  Suffice to say the air int directorate brief is a cushy job for men with little to no interest or acumen for the task at hand. For years they have depended on other agencies and foreign int for second hand data which they then present to command. If the enemy is using drones for two years now, it was their job to devise a counter, present a briefing and convince New Delhi to procure whatever's necessary. We take out package drones by rifle in Rajasthan and Punjab because we expect them and are prepared. Army int provides that preparedness.

#2  Since it’s Jammu, I assume one or another of the ISI’s vicious little pets executed the operation under orders.
