India's naval deployment pressured Pakistan into requesting a ceasefire after the Pahalgam attack.

The Indian Navy played a crucial role in Pakistan's request for a ceasefire after the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025. Within 96 hours, India deployed its naval forces with full combat readiness, capable of striking targets including Karachi. This forward deployment, alongside efforts by the Army and Air Force, forced Pakistan to adopt a defensive stance. The operation resulted in the elimination of over 100 terrorists and the destruction of nine terror sites.
