Amid heightened tensions between Pakistan and India, the Pakistan Navy’s vigilant operations reportedly forced an Indian aircraft carrier to retreat from near Pakistani waters, Express News reported.

According to security sources, India had deployed its aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, to the northern Arabian Sea on April 23, in response to the recent escalation between the two countries.

However, following persistent and effective patrolling by the Pakistan Navy, the Indian vessel was withdrawn. Satellite images confirm that the INS Vikrant returned to the Indian port of Karwar after spending a few days at sea.

The deployment and subsequent withdrawal highlight the growing military posturing in the region amid fragile relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Neither Pakistan nor India has officially commented on the reported redeployment.
