Indian naval carrier Ins Vikrant was prevented from any maritime adventureism against Pakistan in the Northern Arabian Sea because of the well -coordinated strategy for the Pakistani Navy during the recent hostilities between the two nuclear -armed neighbors, officials with Pakistan Navy told Express Pakinomist.
The Pakistani military launched a massive operation that became the code name ‘Bunyanum Marsoos’ (formidable wall) in response to Indian aggression, targeted at their airbases, airfields, weapon paws, missile storage, brigade headquarters, etc.
Like the other two services, the Pakistani Navy also played a key role in this quick operation. The Indian navy remained limited to its own territorial waters and did not dare to challenge the Pakistani navy in the south, according to the officials.
Throughout the tension period, the Indian Navy could not promote any of its warships or aircraft against Pakistan because of the strict surveillance and the constant presence of the Pakistani navy, an official added. “As a result of this strong strategic attitude, the Indian carrier Ins Vikrant did not have any threat to Pakistan and avoided any kind of maritime operation.”
The Pakistani Navy presence in the south and its extensive strategy allowed the armed forces in the north and northeast to achieve their targets, the official added. “Not only did the Pakistani navy restrict the Indian navy to its own waters, but it also ensured the security of Pakistan’s maritime trade routes and coastal regions.”
The Indian Navy admitted that it did not participate in “Operation Sindoor”, which their military had launched. Director -General of Naval Operations Vice Admiral An Pramod said the Indian Navy was prepared, but continued to wait for the government’s instructions.
However, a Pakistan Navy official said that the uninterrupted operation of Pakistan’s three ports – Karachi Port, Port Qasim and Gwadar Port – throughout the hostilities stands as clear evidence of our effective strategy.
“The Indian Navy was facing humiliation as it had been limited to its territorial waters of a much minor opponent throughout the excitement,” he added. “The credit goes to the leadership, officers and sailors of the Pakistani Navy who successfully protected Pakistan’s maritime borders and denied the enemy any opportunity for aggression.”
Pakistan-India Army
Pakistan and India agreed on a full and immediate ceasefire on Saturday after days of intense military exchanges that raised fears of a full scale conflict between the two nuclear armed neighbors.
The message was first made by US President Donald Trump and later confirmed by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, Indian Secretary of State S Jaispankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The fluid’s ceasefire came after missile attack, drone penetration and retaliatory operations across the border.
Tensions flared after a deadly April 22 -attack in Pahaldam, Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), leaving 26 civilians dead. India accused Pakistan-based elements without providing evidence; Islamabad strongly rejected the claim.
India responded by closing the Wagah border, revoking Pakistani Visa and suspending the Indus Waters Treaty -Moves Pakistan labeled as a “act of war.”
On May 6 to 7, Pakistan Operation Bunyanum Marsoos launched five Indian jets, including Rafales, and captured 77 Israeli origin Harop drones.
The United States played a key role in facilitating backchannel diplomacy. Secretary Rubio and Vice President JD Vance held conversations with senior leaders from both countries, including PMS Shehbaz Sharif and Narendra Modi, as well as top defense and intelligence officials.
Following Trump’s announcement, both countries suspended military activity across land, air and sea, although accusations of ceasefire violation were also reported from both sides of the control line.
