Indian Navy test fires latest medium range missile in Arabian Sea amid cross border tensions post-Pahalgam attack

Indias indigenous warship INS Surat successfully carried out a precision missile test, bolstering maritime defence at a time of escalating tension with Pakistan. Just hours after a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam claimed 26 lives, Pakistan announced a missile test of its own. India has since suspended the Indus Waters Treaty and SAARC visa access for Pakistani citizens. With strong statements from top leadership and cross-border links to the attack confirmed, New Delhi is signalling it will respond firmly.
