India Deploys Aircraft Carrier Vikrant Near Karachi Port Handling 60% Pakistan Trade as Pakistani Tanks Move to Border

India has deployed its Western Naval Fleet, including the aircraft carrier Vikrant, destroyers, frigates, and anti-submarine ships, to the northern Arabian Sea near Karachi, Pakistan’s largest port. This fleet positioning places Indian naval forces within striking range of Karachi, which handles 60% of Pakistan's trade, according to reports from The Telegraph and other British media. Pakistani naval forces are closely monitoring the movements of the Indian fleet. Concurrently, Pakistan has mobilized armored units, including Type 69-IIMP main battle tanks, moving towards the international border with India in Punjab amid escalating border clashes. These developments reflect heightened military tensions between the two countries.
