In a recent development, INS Surat, a naval vessel of the Indian Navy, has conducted a successful test of a surface-to-air missile. The Indian Air Force recently carried out ‘Exercise Aakraman’ involving Rafale jets. These military exercises came in the wake of a terrorist attack in the region of Jammu and Kashmir, escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. In response to the heightened tensions, India decided to suspend the Indus Water Treaty, and Pakistan retaliated by suspending the Simla Agreement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a strong statement, vowing to take action against terrorists and their backers. These events reflect the current geopolitical situation in the region and the efforts being made to maintain national security.
