Shivpuri (MP), Apr 25 (PTI): A heavy metal object suspected to have fallen from an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft caused severe damage to a house in Pichhore town of Madhya Pradesh on Friday but nobody was injured in the incident, police said.
An unidentified heavy object fell on the roof of the house belonging to Manoj Sagar, a teacher, around 11 am, eye witnesses said.
Two rooms in the house were completely damaged and debris fell on the car parked nearby, officials said.

Vibrations caused by the explosion were felt in neighbouring houses too, officials said.
Police rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area.
"A heavy metal object fell from the sky from an Air Force jet on the house of Manoj Sagar...due to which two outer rooms have been damaged. There were four members in the house, all are safe.
