New Delhi/IBNS-CMEDIA: Indian warships have conducted multiple anti-ship firings in the Arabian Sea, with the Navy demonstrating that they are combat-ready to protect the nation’s interests.
The Navy shared multiple visuals of BrahMos anti-ship and anti-surface cruise missiles being fired from warships in the middle of the sea.
The firing of missiles demonstrated the Indian Navy’s preparedness for the long-range precision offensive strike.
These warships included Kolkata-class destroyers, and Nilgiri and Krivak-class frigates.
“Indian Navy Ships undertook successful multiple anti-ship firings to revalidate and demonstrate readiness of platforms, systems, and crew for long-range precision offensive strike. Indian Navy stands combat-ready, credible, and future-ready in safeguarding the nation’s maritime interests Anytime Anywhere Anyhow,” the Indian Navy said in a post on X.
Pakistan issued a notification for the firings in the Arabian Sea region.
The firings come amid massive tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
On the afternoon of April 22, around 1:50 PM, attackers led by Thoker emerged from Baisaran’s pine forests and opened fire on tourists.
Survivors said the gunmen asked some victims about their religion and demanded they recite Islamic verses. Those who failed or hesitated were shot in the head.
In a hard-hitting response to the ghastly terror attack backed by Pakistan, the Indian government announced a series of strong retaliatory measures: Suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, expulsion of Pakistani diplomats and defence personnel from its High Commission, and immediate shutdown of the Integrated Check Post at Attari.
The government revoked Pakistani nationals’ eligibility for travel under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme (SVES), declaring all existing visas issued under the scheme invalid.
Additionally, all Pakistani nationals were asked to leave India within 48 hours of the order.
