Indian submar­ines were not target­ted keepin­g in view the peace initia­tive, says Pakist­an NavyKARACHI: The Pakistan Navy (PN) on Tuesday said it had thwarted an attempt by an Indian submarine to enter Pakistani territorial waters. “The Pakistan Navy is always ready to guard its territorial waters and is capable of responding to any kind of aggression with full force,” said the navy. The Indian Navy also operates a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), the INS Arihant, which was manufactured locally after decades of delay. The Indian Navy would have tasked a Sindhughosh or a Kalvari-class submarine for the mission. Earlier in 2016, the PN successfully repelled an Indian submarine from entering the country’s territorial waters.
