The Pakistan Navy detected and monitored an Indian P-8I maritime surveillance aircraft near its maritime borders on May 4-5, 2025. This showcasing advanced surveillance capabilities amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions post-Pahalgam attack underscores the Navy’s vigilance in safeguarding national interests.

Dawn News reported that on the night of May 4-5, 2025, the Pakistan Navy continuously tracked an Indian P-8I aircraft approaching its maritime boundaries in the Arabian Sea. The Navy’s advanced surveillance systems monitored the aircraft’s flight path, demonstrating technical prowess and operational readiness. “The Pakistan Navy remains fully prepared to counter any hostile action with full force,” a source stated, emphasising 24/7 defence of maritime frontiers.

The P-8I, used for long-range patrol and anti-submarine operations, has been spotted near sensitive regions, raising concerns given the current geopolitical climate. The detection highlights Pakistan’s robust maritime security amid escalating regional tensions.

Context of India-Pakistan Tensions

Tensions soared after the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), killing 26 people, mostly tourists. India baselessly accused Pakistan of involvement, a claim Islamabad rejected, demanding a neutral probe.

India retaliated on April 23 with measures including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and revoking Pakistani visas, per Reuters. Pakistan’s National Security Committee on April 24 declared water flow blockages an act of war, closing its side of the Wagah border.

The Pakistan Senate on April 25 unanimously condemned India’s allegations as politically motivated. Tensions further escalated on April 26 when pro-India protesters vandalised Pakistan’s High Commission in London, damaging property with saffron paint. Pakistan accused the Indian state of backing, with Minister Attaullah Tarar condemning the act, as British police arrested two suspects, per the BBC.

The Pakistan Navy’s tracking of an Indian P-8I aircraft on May 4-5, 2025, underscores its vigilance amid rising tensions with India following the Pahalgam attack. The incident highlights Pakistan’s robust maritime defences as both nations exchange accusations and retaliatory measures. With regional stability at stake, international calls for de-escalation grow urgent.
