Mumbai: Indian warships have conducted multiple anti-ship firings in the Arabian Sea, demonstrating their preparedness for long-range precision strikes, with the Navy asserting they are combat-ready to protect the nation’s interests. 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,” said the Indian Navy in an online post. The firings come amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
After the massacre of 26 civilians vacationing in Jammu and Kashmir, India has ordered Pakistanis to return to their homeland and suspended the crucial Indus Water Treaty. Pakistan has also suspended all bilateral agreements with Indian. Repeated ceasefire violations from Pakistan’s side along the Line of Control have also begun in an attempt to provoke the Indian troops.
The Indian side has retaliated effectively, according to the army. No casualties were reported in the exchange of fire. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who had vowed to pursue the terrorists to the ends of the earth, said this morning that every Indian’s blood is boiling after the terror attack.
Each one of them is feeling the pain of those who lost their own in the terror attack, he said in his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio broadcast.”Peace was returning to Kashmir, but the enemies of the country, of Jammu and Kashmir, did not like this,” he added.
