In a freak mishap, a 30 mm gun on board a Coast Guard ship went off accidentally when it was being repaired, damaging a portion of the Western Naval Command headquarters building in Mumbai.
A Board of Inquiry is looking into the incident that occurred early this month, the sources said, adding no loss of life has been reported.
The practice round hit the 3rd floor of the high security building when the gun went off accidentally while undergoing repair on board the warship ICGS Samrat in presence of the Mumbai-based Naval Armament Depot personnel, they said.
