Rising tensions: India deploys warships near Pakistan's key port

On May 7, India carried out strikes on multiple locations in the region of Kashmir controlled by Pakistan, responding to an incident on April 22 in Indian-administered Kashmir where 26 tourists lost their lives in a terrorist attack.
India conducted these strikes targeting infrastructure linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba as a measured retaliation following the terrorist attack on April 22, during a period of intensified cross-border confrontations.
India deployed its western naval fleet, including aircraft carriers INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya with BrahMos missile-equipped ships, positioned within striking range of Karachi port.
Indian spokesperson Wing Commander Vyomika Singh described Operation Sindoor as a deliberate, controlled response aimed at minimizing escalation, while reports indicated that ten explosions occurred near Srinagar Airport on the night of May 7.
These developments significantly escalate India-Pakistan tensions, with Pakistan vowing decisive retaliation and analysts warning of catastrophic consequences if Karachi is struck.
