KARACHI: Taking great care and noticing obvious signs of danger, Pakistan Navy successfully intercepted an Indian submarine and prevented it from entering Pakistani waters, ARY News reported on Friday.
Pakistan Navy, once again, proved its operational competence by detecting and blocking the Indian Submarine from entering into Pakistani waters.
An unsuspecting submarine was detected and localised South of Pakistani coast on November 14, 2016, said a press release from Pakistan Navy said on Friday.
Pakistan Navy Fleet units recognised the danger in the shape of an Indian submarine floating secretly near the Pakistan waters possibly spying following which they limited its movement effectively.
A Navy spokesperson said in the press release that Pakistan naval fleets units chased the Indian submarine before it was sent back.
“This is a proof of Pakistan Navy’s extremely skilled anti-submarine warfare unit,” said the press release.
We are vigilant and fully prepared to answer any sort of Indian aggression, the statement added.
While Indian Army continues to undertake serious ceasefire violations along the line of control (LoC) and working boundary, Indian Navy deceitfully deployed its submarines against Pakistan with ulterior motives, added the press release.
