The Indian Navy is set to conduct naval drills in the Arabian Sea, coinciding with Pakistan’s naval exercises in its territorial waters. These drills follow a tense military standoff in May, during which India’s armed forces executed coordinated strikes against Pakistani military assets, including aircraft and radar systems. A notable engagement involved an S-400 missile intercepting a Pakistani surveillance aircraft.
