When it comes to reporting on military affairs, South Asian journalism is notorious for grammatical and syntax errors - mostly because the military jargon is not used daily and translation ends up being faulty, not just by the journalists, but sometimes also by people in the defense establishment, and the reporters just type what they hear.
Thats why we call them DDM-Desi Dorky Media.
And there have been many cases of DDM reporting not on facts but on rumours. This news report in particular is very vague. I have no problems in accepting the content of the news, but i'd better take it from some reputed source.
