The Pakistan Navy has conducted a two-day maritime security exercise aimed at enhancing the protection of the country’s key ports and critical coastal infrastructure against evolving threats.
According to a statement by the Pakistan Navy spokesperson, the drills were held under the command of the Coastal Command and were designed to evaluate and strengthen response mechanisms against potential security challenges to major maritime installations.
The exercise involved joint participation from Pakistan Marines, the Special Services Group (Navy), and both naval and aerial assets of the Pakistan Navy. The live-action component featured coordinated responses to simulated threats in real-time scenarios.
During the drills, Commander Coast Rear Admiral Faisal Amin visited operational setups at various coastal locations and observed the live exercises carried out by participating units.
The spokesperson emphasized that the uninterrupted security of sea lines of communication (SLOCs) is vital for national security and economic stability, and remains a top priority for the Pakistan Navy.
“Pakistan Navy remains fully committed to enhancing its defensive capabilities along the maritime frontiers,” the statement read. “Our forces continuously adapt and train to counter emerging challenges to national and regional maritime security.”
These exercises reflect the Navy’s ongoing effort to maintain a high level of readiness in safeguarding Pakistan’s maritime interests and critical economic infrastructure, including major commercial ports.
