Pahalgam terror attack: Amid rising tension with India, coward Pakistan plans missile test, Modi govt responds strongly by….
Amid growing tensions with India after the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan appears to be nervous and on edge. There are strong concerns in Islamabad about the possibility of a strong retaliatory response from New Delhi. Following the attack, Pakistan quickly put its air force on high alert. Unusual aerial activity was reported, including AWACS surveillance planes flying near the Indian border.
Now, in another provocative move, Pakistan is planning to test a new missile. According to sources, the missile has a range of around 480 kilometers. This test is being planned at a time when emotions are running high on both sides following the attack.
Reports shared on social media, particularly from an account named Damian Simon, suggest that Pakistan may conduct the missile test between April 24 and 25. Ahead of the test, Pakistan has declared a “No-Fly Zone” over a part of the Arabian Sea and issued a warning about live firing in the area. Sailors and aircraft have been advised to avoid this region during the designated period.
India’s Aircraft carrier spotted in Arabian Sea amid rising tensions
New satellite images have revealed the presence of India’s aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, in the Arabian Sea near the Karwar coast. The carrier, which is equipped with MiG-29 fighter jets, is currently operating in the same general area where Pakistan is planning a missile test. This development comes amid increasing tension between the two nations following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
According to reports, Pakistan is preparing to test a missile in the Arabian Sea, which has raised eyebrows, especially considering the timing and location — dangerously close to where India’s powerful naval assets are present.
Signs of nervousness in Pakistan’s military
The missile test is being seen as a reaction fueled by anxiety and desperation within Pakistan’s military. While publicly, Pakistan is trying to project that it is prepared to defend against any land, air, or sea attack, the hurried decisions and military moves indicate a deeper fear of Indian retaliation.
Adding to the pressure, India made a bold diplomatic move by suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, a long-standing agreement under which Pakistan received crucial water supplies from three Indian rivers. This water is vital to Pakistan’s agriculture and overall survival. India’s decision is being viewed as a strategic and high-impact warning, potentially creating major challenges for Pakistan.
In response to this, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif convened a National Security Committee meeting on Thursday to address the growing concerns over national security and India’s firm stance.
This ongoing situation is being closely watched across the world, with rising fears of further escalation if diplomatic channels do not open soon.
