Once again, scores of Bengaluru residents across the city reported hearing a loud boom-like sound at around 12:20 pm on Friday. The sound left windows rattling for a few seconds as users on Twitter wondered if it was another sonic boom.

The city had witnessed a similar incident last year in May following which the defence department said was a sonic boom caused by a test flight.
