India announces Air Force exercise near high-security area bordering Karachi

NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force is all set to conduct an air exercise over the Arabian Sea near the Pakistan border. The air exercise will be held about 200 nautical miles from Karachi. The exercise will be held on Wednesday, December 10 and Thursday, December 11.

The air exercise is scheduled to be held about 70 nautical miles from Pakistan-controlled airspace, a high-security area. The air force aims to demonstrate its prowess over the Arabian Sea, which plays a crucial role in defence and trade. It also includes various combat and intelligence exercises that will strengthen India's defence on its western maritime border.

Conducting such an exercise near Pakistan's coastal airspace will help increase alertness in the area.
