Indian Navy Deploys Full Force in Arabian Sea–Ready to Strike Karachi if Ceasefire Broken|Op Sindoor

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. #OperationSindoor #IndianNavy #KarachiTargeted #PahalgamAttack #ViceAdmiralPramod #IndiaStrikesBack #NavalDeployment #CeasefireThreat #ArabianSea #PakNavy #FullCombatReadiness #WarshipsDeployed #PakistanTensions #IndiaDefense #IndianForces Also Read Pakistan Army Violates Ceasefire for 6th Consecutive Day, Indian Army Strikes Back :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-army-violates-ceasefire-for-6th-consecutive-day-indian-army-strikes-back-4139021.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistani Troops Violate Ceasefire In J-K, Suffer Heavy Casualties After Indian Army Retaliates :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistani-troops-heavy-casualties-ceasefire-violation-loc-poonch-011-4069697.html?ref=DMDesc Sharp Decline in Cross-Border Firing Incidents: Jitendra Singh Warns Against Lowering Guard :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/sharp-decline-in-cross-border-firing-incidents-jitendra-singh-gen-3669597.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~
