India and Pakistan are set to conduct separate naval drills in the Arabian Sea from August 11, 2025, with the Indian Navy operating off Gujarat’s coast and Pakistan Navy within its own territorial waters. These exercises come after India’s Operation Sindoor, a significant military response to a terrorist attack, which heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed nations. While routine, the simultaneous drills underscore military readiness and strategic signaling amid a fragile post-conflict environment. The situation reflects India’s commitment to maintaining vigilance over critical maritime corridors, ensuring national security against evolving threats in the region.
