Srinagar – The remains of a shell that exploded in Dal Lake during Operation Sindoor in May were found during a cleaning drive in the water body on Saturday, officials said.

A garbage of shell was recovered from Dal Lake near Ount Kadal on May 10 during Operation Sindoor, India's military response to Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.

During the cleaning drive on Saturday, officials from the Lake Conservation and Management Authority (LCMA) found the remains of the shell, the officials said.

They said the remains were taken to the nearest police station where they have been kept for further examination and necessary action.

On the morning of May 10, a missile-like object landed deep inside Dal Lake - a major tourist attraction in Srinagar - after loud explosions rocked the city.
