NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Indian Defence Ministry's website and other government sites were hit by a technical issue on Friday but had not been hacked, the government said.

"The site showed what appeared to be a Chinese character and it was understandable that the site was perceived to be hacked," a government statement said. "However, it has since been identified that the sites have not been hacked."
