Early Thursday morning, May 8, 2025, residents of Jathuwal village in Majitha, near Amritsar, discovered debris near a wall, prompting a swift response from local authorities who confirmed its recovery. The find, identified by the Indian Defence Research Wing (idrw.org) as possible remnants of a 48N6 missile from India’s S-400 air defence system, idrw.org had reported that across Amritsar in the early hours of the same day, interceptor missiles were used. Authorities have reported no loss of life or property damage, but the incident has fueled speculation amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions following ‘Operation Sindoor.’
The debris, described as a partially burnt airframe in length, exhibited signs of a blast burnout, suggesting the missile detonated near its intended target. The 48N6 missile, a key component of the Russian-supplied S-400 Triumf system, is designed to intercept aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles at ranges up to 250 km and altitudes of 60 km. India has deployed three S-400 squadrons in northwest and eastern sectors to counter threats from Pakistan and China, with Amritsar’s proximity to the border making it a strategic location for such systems.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that Pakistan tried to attack Amritsar with Chinese developed guided multiple rocket launcher (MRL) .with its The discovery coincides with reports of loud explosions heard across Amritsar around 2:00 AM IST, captured in CCTV footage showing either an Akash missile or 48N6 missile engaging an aerial target. The Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Army have remained silent on both the blasts and the debris.
The idrw.org team’s analysis suggests the debris’ condition—blast marks and a fragmented airframe—indicates an in-air detonation, possibly targeting a Pakistani drone, missile, or jet, given Pakistan’s claims of retaliatory actions.
