The information was shared by the official Twitter handle of director general (DG) Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). The video of the detection of an Indian submarine was also attached in the tweet.
In the tweet, it said, “#PakistanNavy link Warfare Unit intercepted & tracked latest Kalvari class Indian submarine on March, 1.”
It added, “The recent incident being the fourth detection in the last 5 years is reflection of Pakistan Navy’s competence & resolve to defend maritime frontiers of Pakistan.”
