DGMO Briefing | 'Karachi Was A Target Option': Indian Navy's Big Revelation On Operation Sindoor

The Navy's deployment in the Arabian Sea during Operation Sindoor virtually forced the Pakistan Navy to remain in the harbour or near the coast, the Indian Navy said today, revealing for the first time the role naval forces played in the Pahalgam terror attack counterstrike. Explaining the Navy's role, Vice Admiral AN Pramod said the Navy's carrier battle groups, surface forces, submarines and aviation assets were deployed at sea with full combat readiness shortly after the Pahalgam attack. "We tested and refined tactics and procedures at sea during multiple weapon firings in the Arabian Sea within 96 hours of terrorist attack. The aim was to revalidate our crew, armaments, equipment and platform readiness to deliver various ordnance on selected targets precisely," he said.
