Pakistan Tests Anti-Ship Missile From New Submarine Amid Arabian Sea Tensions

Pakistan has successfully test-fired an anti-ship cruise missile from its newly acquired Hangor-class submarine in the Arabian Sea. The missile used was the Chinese-made YJ-18, which is capable of striking targets well beyond the immediate combat zone. The test came shortly after a maritime confrontation between Indian and Pakistani naval vessels in the region. The development highlights a growing capability gap, as India's submarine fleet continues to face delays in expansion and modernization.
