New Delhi: Indian Navy The sources on Tuesday rubbished the claims outright. PakistanThe Indian Army said it had last week blocked an Indian submarine from entering the country’s waters.
media wing of pakistan army Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), released a video clip and issued a statement on Tuesday, claiming that the submarine was detected by a Pakistani Navy patrol aircraft on 16 October. The statement said the submarine was “barred from entering Pakistani waters”.
However, Indian Navy sources said GPS The coordinates in the video show the submarine’s location around 140-150 nautical miles Karachi, which are international waters. “The territorial waters extend only 12 nautical miles from the coast. It could be a submarine of any country in the video. The veracity of the video itself has been questioned. Moreover, Pakistan has made such dubious claims in the past too,” the source said.
In its statement, the ISPR claimed that the Pakistani Navy displayed “constant vigilance and professional competence” in detecting and intercepting an Indian vessel’s entry attempt. “During the current security environment, the security of Pakistan’s maritime borders has been closely monitored by the Pakistani Navy,” the ISPR said.
The Pakistan Army claimed that this is the third incident of its kind, during which an Indian Navy submarine has been detected prematurely and tracked by a long-range maritime patrol aircraft of the Pakistani Navy. The statement claimed that an incident of this nature was last reported in March 2019 when the Navy detected and thwarted the entry attempt of an Indian submarine. Another alleged attempt was made in November 2016 by an Indian submarine which was tracked and fished out of Pakistani waters, claimed the Pakistan Army.
