The week-long "Kanki 2014" exercise will include low-level fighter flights over the area. Some of the aircraft taking part will be using decoy flares that may be seen as brief bright flashes in the sky lasting a few seconds. These are part of the fighters' arsenal of countermeasures to avoid heat seeking anti-aircraft missiles.
While flights will create high noise levels locally, most of the exercise will be carried out over sparsely populated areas. The exercises are being carried out daily between 10 AM and 9 PM through Friday.
