Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says the Indian Navy deployed in the Arabian Sea during Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, kept the Pakistan Navy confined to its ports. Speaking at the inauguration of the “Nausena Shaurya Vatika,” an open-air naval museum, Singh states that the Navy maintained constant pressure on Pakistan with full preparedness and strength, limiting Pakistan’s naval movement during the conflict.
According to reports, Operation Sindoor began on May 7, 2025. Indian forces conducted precision strikes on alleged terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The military conflict was halted after both sides reached an understanding on the evening of May 10.
The outlets also tie Singh’s remarks to broader remarks about India’s defence capabilities, including defence manufacturing and exports, alongside the museum inauguration. While the reports present Singh’s account of naval pressure and confinement, they do not provide independent operational details or assessment from Pakistan or other external sources.
