Overview
- Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi said the operation remains active and operational specifics will not be discussed due to sensitivity.
- Tripathi credited swift deployments and multiple weapon firings within 96 hours of the April Pahalgam attack as proof of readiness.
- The presence of an Indian carrier battle group in the Northern Arabian Sea kept Pakistan’s navy close to its coast or in harbour.
- Air-defence coordination across the Army, Navy and Air Force was integrated during the mission, underscoring joint-force posture.
- The Navy chief cited rising non-state threats, sustained deployments including nearly 11,000 ship-days last year, IMO-recognised rescues, and rapid advances in AI and autonomous systems reshaping maritime operations.
