India, May 30 -- Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said that India will use the firepower of its navy in response to any future aggression by Pakistan.

Addressing officers and sailors onboard India's first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant, off the Goa coast, Rajnath Singh lauded Operation Sindoor as the country's frontal assault against terrorism.

"Operation Sindoor is not just a military action, but India's frontal assault against terrorism, and if Pakistan resorts to anything evil or unethical, it will, this time, face the firepower and ire of the Indian Navy," Rajnath Singh said at the event.

He also warned that India will use every method to root out the menace of terrorism if Pakistan instigates any terror act...
