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.
