The naval exercise comes as a military action by Indian forces against Pakistan is being speculated in the aftermath of Pahalgam terror attack. Following the killing of 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, India has ordered Pakistanis to return home and suspended the crucial Indus Water Treaty.

In response, Pakistan has suspended all bilateral agreements with India. There have also been repeated ceasefire violations from Pakistan along the Line of Control, but the Indian Army said it retaliated effectively. No casualties were reported.

The Pahalgam massacre was the deadliest terror attack since the removal of Article 370.

Indian PM Narendra Modi has vowed to pursue the terrorists to the ends of the Earth. In a statement issued earlier on Sunday, the PM said the attack was a desperate attempt by terrorists to derail the progress and tourism industry of the Kashmir region.

In his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio address, he said the entire country feels the pain of those who lost their loved ones.

“Peace was returning to Kashmir, but the enemies of the country, of Jammu and Kashmir, did not like this,” he added.

The PM promised that terrorism would not go unpunished and India would do everything to deliver justice for the innocent lives lost. He said the punishment would be so harsh that the terrorists could not even imagine it.

Earlier on Saturday, Indian Army had also posted a similar video message on social media, highlighting its combat readiness.
