Indian authorities intercepted a Malta-flagged merchant ship, CMA CGM Attila, at Mumbai's Nhava Sheva port, which was en route to Karachi, Pakistan from China. The ship was stopped and searched on January 22, leading to the seizure of a shipment suspected to contain 'military-grade items' and equipment potentially usable in nuclear and missile projects, described as 'nuclear cargo' and 'dual-use cargo'. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was involved in inspecting the equipment found on board. The incident has raised questions about the intentions behind the shipment, especially considering the sensitive nature of the cargo and the involved countries.
