ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Navy fleet units prevented an Indian submarine from entering Pakistan's waters on Friday. 

According to details, Pakistan Navy fleet units chased an Indian submarine and prevented it from entering Pakistan's waters. Due to recent tensions between India and Pakistan, Pakistan Navy's fleet units had been alert and on patrol when they spotted an Indian submarine trying to enter Pakistani waters discreetly. 

The spokesperson for the Pakistan Navy said that the Indian submarine's movement had been restricted by the fleet units. He also said that Pakistan Navy was ready to protect the motherland from the enemy. 

"Indian Navy was attempting to deploy its submarine against Pakistan," said the navy spokesperson. "Pakistan Navy has the capability to retaliate with full force to any sort of aggression," he added.  

The Pakistan Navy spokesperson also said that this exercise had demonstrated Pakistan Navy's anti-submarine warfare capabilities. 

Speaking to Geo News, Commodore (r) Obaidullah stated that the Indian navy was trying to undermine Pakistan's CPEC project. He stated that the Indian navy's target was Balochistan's coastal area. 

Tensions have been on the rise between India and Pakistan, ever since Indian security forces in occupied Kashmir shot dead Burhan Wani, a freedom fighter and committed atrocities against Kashmiri civilians. Pakistan and India have ever since exchanged fire across the Line of Control, with India constantly violating the ceasefire agreement between both countries.
