Pakistani Navy conducted a power demonstration by firing guided missile and torpedoes in the North Arabian Sea on 12th January. They sank a decommissioned vessel during the exercises.

The press release Pakistani Navy published about the exercise as follows;

“In an impressive fire power display, Pakistan Navy Fleet units demonstrated combat readiness and war fighting potential through live weapons firing at North Arabian Sea. Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Muhammad Amjad Khan Niazi
