India, France to kick off high-voltage naval exercise in Arabian Sea
Tuesday, 18 March 2025 India and France kick off the ‘Varuna’ naval exercise in the Arabian Sea, involving aircraft carriers, warships, submarines, fighters, and helicopters. INS Vikrant and the French aircraft carrier Charles De Gaulle are among the highlighted participants. The exercise includes maritime drills and tactical operations, enhancing naval interoperability and operational synergy between the two nations.
Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.

Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi declared the Bab al-Mandab Strait and Arabian Sea closed to Israeli and American ships. In a fiery speech, he said nine attacks targeted US naval assets in response to the Gaza war. Al-Houthi condemned Israel’s siege of Gaza, calling it genocide, and criticized Arab governments and media for their silence. He highlighted US-led attacks on Yemen, Israeli aggression in Syria and Lebanon, and urged greater Palestinian unity. The death toll in Gaza from the ongoing assault has crossed 51,000, with over 117,000 injured.

Pakistan has issued a maritime warning ahead of a missile test off the Karachi coast, intensifying tensions with India following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan-based terror groups and retaliated by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down key diplomatic and border ties. As Pakistan prepares surface-to-surface missile tests in the Arabian Sea, India has expelled Pakistani diplomats and ordered SAARC visa holders to leave. Both nations now scale down their embassies, raising fears of escalation between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
