Loud noise heard in South Bengaluru. Officials checking if it’s another sonic boom from an IAF jet. Similar perhaps to what happened in May last year. https://t.co/gHF6dQkrj2

However, officials are now checking.

Also, last year in May, a similar noise was heard in Bengaluru and was later revealed that it was an Indian Air Force test flight involving a supersonic profile that took off from the Bengaluru airport, resulting in the sonic boom.

Many Bengaluru residents took to Twitter and other social media platforms to report that the loud boom was heard in many parts of the city. Most Twitter users said the sound was heard at 12.23 pm on Friday.

Our maid thought a ghost has landed on our roof. Then we talked about Sonic Boom. She doesn’t seem convinced.
