Pakistan's Navy conducted a two-day drill, "focusing on countering sub-conventional and asymmetric threats across all major ports and harbors in Pakistan," local newspaper Dawn reported on Sunday, citing an official statement.
The fleet conducted a two-day comprehensive exercise focusing on responding to sub-conventional and asymmetric threats at key ports and harbors, according to a press release from the Director General Public Relations of the Pakistan Navy, Commodore Ahmed Hussain.
“The exercises were aimed at validating and refining tactics, techniques, and procedures to ensure robust defense of critical maritime infrastructure against evolving asymmetric threats,” the statement said.
The drill “involved coordinated operations by PN (Pakistan Navy) Fleet units, Pak Marines, SSG (Navy), and Naval Aviation assets,” it added.
It noted that the scenarios during the exercise were “designed to simulate a range of sub-conventional threats,” such as sabotage, infiltration, and unconventional assaults. These drills helped units boost coordination among agencies, situational awareness, and quick-response capabilities.
“Pakistan Navy remains committed to maintaining a high state of readiness to respond to all forms of threats and continues to strengthen its capacity to defend the maritime frontiers against emerging challenges,” the statement said.
