NEW DELHI, Nov. 2 -- Pakistan issued a naval navigational warning on Saturday for firing exercises in the northern Arabian Sea starting Sunday, with the drills set to take place in a zone that overlaps with India's ongoing major tri-services military exercise in the country's western sector. The overlap exists because Pakistan's maritime territory is contiguous to that controlled by India, but experts believe coordination between the two sides will prevent any incidents during the simultaneous exercises. A Navarea warning is for mariners to avoid a specific area of waters. The Hydrographer of Pakistan issued NAVAREA IX 514/25 on Saturday for drills during November 2-5 in the northern Arabian Sea, two days after India kicked off a two-week-long tri-services exercise in the country's western sector and the same maritime expanse. The Pakistani drills will involve warships conducting live surface and sub-surface firing in an area bounded by specific coordinates covering approximately 6,000 sq km. "Mariners keep well clear off exercise area," the alert said. The Indian exercise, which the army calls Trishul, is being conducted in Rajasthan, Gujarat and the Arabian Sea and involves tens of thousands of soldiers, fighter jets, warships, submarines, tanks, artillery guns and other weapons and systems. It is the first major military exercise since the four-day military confrontation with Pakistan in May under Operation Sindoor. "Pakistan now issues a naval navigational warning for a firing exercise in the same area India has an airspace reservation for its ongoing tri-services military drills," geo-intelligence researcher Damien Symon wrote on X on Saturday. While the areas geographically overlap, coordination between both sides would likely ensure things remain professional without any incident, he added. It is not uncommon for the two militaries to hold drills simultaneously. The exercises come almost six months after the May 7-10 military clash under Operation Sindoor, which marked New Delhi's direct military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. Director general naval operations Vice Admiral AN Pramod said on Friday that the main aim of the tri-services exercise is to enhance synergy among all the maritime forces as well as the three services. Around 20-25 warships and 40 aircraft are taking part in the exercise, which involves the Western Naval Command, South Western Air Command and the army's Western Command....
