Notably, missiles have been found amid reports of six loud explosions heard across Amritsar between 1:02 AM and 1:09 AM, raising speculation that the sounds may be connected to the missile-related incident. In response, authorities imposed an immediate blackout across the city during this period.
While the Amritsar police initially attributed the noises to sonic booms, no official clarification has been issued regarding the origin of the missiles.
Amritsar experienced two separate blackouts that night. The first occurred between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM, followed by a second, more extensive blackout at 1:56 AM, which lasted for nearly two and a half hours. Power was fully restored by 4:30 AM.
