Top officials of the Naval headquarters were on board the aircraft carrier when it was deployed in the strategic mission, military sources said. The exercise ‘Sea Guardians’ is taking place in the midst of heightened tension between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue.

Aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya, with MiG29K fighters on board, has been sent with a strategic objective, the sources said. China is developing Pakistan’s deep water Gwadar port in North Arabian Sea and has ramped up its military presence in the region, triggering concerns in India. — PTI
