They were used to hearing fighter jets from a nearby airbase. But this noise was louder and less familiar: a roar punctuated by repeated explosions.
Residents of Akalia Kalan, a village in northern India, leapt from their beds as it grew closer in the early hours of May 7th. Outside,
they saw a ball of flames pass overhead and crash into a nearby field. The wreckage was clearly identifiable as a fighter.
Two bystanders died, according to villagers. The two Indian pilots had ejected earlier and were found, injured, in fields nearby.
