The Indian Navy has reportedly mobilized warships near Karachi, signaling a major escalation in the ongoing conflict with Pakistan. Sources indicate that INS Vikrant, along with multiple destroyers, has been deployed in the Arabian Sea, positioning itself near Pakistan’s coastline. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Indian ground forces may enter Pakistan within the next 48 hours, marking a significant shift in military strategy.
The situation follows India’s Operation Sindoor, a retaliatory strike targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation was launched in response to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including an Indian Navy officer. India’s military response has been described as “measured, precise, and non-escalatory” by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, but the latest developments indicate a potential expansion of hostilities.
Explosions have already been reported in Karachi and Lahore, with sources confirming that Indian missile strikes have hit key Pakistani naval bases. The Western Fleet of the Indian Navy, operating from Mumbai, is said to be fully deployed and prepared for further action. Defense analysts note that this is the first time since 1971 that India has opened a direct naval front against Pakistan, recalling the historic Operation Trident and Operation Python, which crippled Karachi’s port during the Indo-Pakistani War.
Pakistan has responded with drone and missile attacks on Indian military installations, though reports indicate that India’s air defense systems have intercepted multiple incoming threats. The Pakistani government has imposed curfews in several regions, including Karachi, as fears of further strikes grow.
The coming days will determine whether this conflict escalates into a full-scale war or remains a targeted military operation. With both nations on high alert, the risk of further engagements remains high.
