 "Indian Navy remains in deterrent posture to counter threats from Pakistan, terror outfits")
Following the Pahalgam terror attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Navy deployed its Carrier Battle Group, surface forces, submarines and aviation assets with full combat readiness in line with a joint operational plan of the Indian defence forces, the Navy said in a post on X.
According to the Navy, within 96 hours of the attack carried out by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists, it conducted multiple weapon firings in the Arabian Sea to test and refine combat tactics and procedures. These exercises were aimed at revalidating the readiness of crew, equipment and platforms to deliver precise strikes on selected targets.
The Navy added that it remained forward deployed in the northern Arabian Sea in a dissuasive and deterrent posture, maintaining full operational capacity to strike targets at sea and on land. This deployment, it said, compelled Pakistani naval and air units to adopt a defensive position, staying within their harbours or close to the coastline.
It further said that as part of the escalation control mechanism, the use of force by the Navy was planned in synchronisation with the Indian Army and Air Force.
“Along with kinetic actions by the Army and the Air Force, the overwhelming operational edge of the Indian Navy at sea contributed towards Pakistan’s urgent request for a ceasefire yesterday,” the post added.
The Navy said it continues to remain deployed at sea in a credible deterrent posture, ready to respond decisively to any hostile action by Pakistan or Pakistan-based terrorists.
