New Delhi [India], August 10 (ANI): Even as Operation Sindoor is still ongoing, the navies of India and Pakistan will be carrying out separate drills in the Arabian Sea at the same time over the next few days, starting tomorrow. Defence sources said navies of both India and Pakistan have issued Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for conducting drills in the Arabian Sea within their respective territorial areas.
“Indian Navy warships will be carrying out drills in the Arabian Sea on August 11-12. Pakistan Navy has also issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for carrying out its own naval exercises in its waters,” the sources said.
A NOTAM is issued when air traffic movement is restricted for a certain period.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists.
India repelled the subsequent Pakistani retaliation and struck its airbases.
India has said that cessation of hostilities came after Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called his Indian counterpart, and there was no third-party mediation.
