ISLAMABAD: In the aftermath of Pahalgam incident in the Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir (IIOJK), tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbouring countries of India and Pakistan have heightened, with India moving its aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant in the Arabia Sea and Pakistan reportedly issuing a notification for a surface-to-surface missile test.

According to a post on X by Indo-Pacific News (Geopolitics and Defense), “satellite image from @detresfa_ taken yesterday, shows the Indian Navy Aircraft Carrier – INS Vikrant left port and is underway in the Arabian Sea Region off the coast of Karwar.”

“Pakistan issues a NOTAM (notification) for a likely missile test in the Arabian Sea Region. The missile test is in a western direction where the carrier would probably be expected to deploy,” the post adds.

The post further warns: “Something is coming down between India and Pakistan, and can happen any time after US VP JD Vance leaves India. Vance leaves today Thursday 24th.”

According to a post on X by Pak Intel Monitor, “Pakistan issues no fly zone in the Arabian sea with a live fire warning. Mariners also warned off from area. Naval ships will conduct live surface and subsurface missile testing.”

India will take revenge: Modi

Earlier, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his speech in Bihar after the Pahalgam incident stated that those who targeted innocent civilians will not be spared. He said that people affected belong to various castes and speak differed languages, adding from Kargil to Kanyakumari, entire nation is mourning the loss of innocent lives.

He said that the enemies of the country have tried to strike at the soul (IIOJK) of India.

The Indian prime minister stated that those who carried out the attack and those who conspired behind it, would not be spared. He said that 140 crore Indians stand united against terrorists and India will not spare them. They will be punished more severely than they could ever imagine, he said. Prime Minister Modi said, “from the soil of Bihar, I say to the whole world, India will take revenge.”
