ISLAMABAD: The navy “intercepted and tracked” an Indian military submarine from entering Pakistan’s territorial waters earlier this week, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said, the fourth such reported incursion by an Indian submersible vessel since 2016.
The Anti-Submarine Warfare Unit intercepting “the latest Kalvari class Indian submarine” on March 1 showed its competence and resolve to defend the maritime frontiers of the country, the military’s media wing said.
