The Indian Air Force has dismissed three officers for accidentally firing a supersonic cruise missile into neighbor and rival Pakistan during a routine military exercise in March.
印度空軍將3名軍官解職，因這3人在3月例行軍演中，不慎將1枚超音速巡弋飛彈射進敵對的鄰國巴基斯坦。
An inquiry “found that deviation from standard operating procedure,” a spokesman for the air force Wing Commander Ashish Moghe said via text message late Tuesday. “Three officers have primarily been held responsible.”
空軍發言人、中校阿什希‧莫格週二晚間透過簡訊表示，調查「發現違反標準作業程序」，「3名軍官對此負有主要責任」。
The BrahMos medium-range cruise missile was fired on March 9 from the garrison town of Ambala, about 200 kilometers north of the capital New Delhi.
布拉莫斯中程巡弋飛彈3月中從安巴拉一處軍事屯駐地發射，該地位於首都新德里以北約200公里處。
The missile landed in Pakistan’s Punjab province. Islamabad was prepared for retaliatory strike but held back because an initial assessment indicated something was amiss.
這枚飛彈墜落在巴基斯坦旁遮普省。伊斯蘭城當局原本準備予以報復攻擊，但由於初步評估顯示事情不對勁，並未採取行動。
