A high alert on Pakistan sea ports has been issued amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and India. Enhanced maritime security measures have been implemented at major ports including Karachi Port, Gwadar Port, and Port Qasim, as the situation between the neighboring countries grows increasingly tense.
In response to the potential threat, the Pakistani government has suspended all small boat and fishing activities within its territorial waters. All fishing boats, trawlers, and unauthorized vessels currently at sea have been instructed to return to shore. According to official sources, the high alert on Pakistan sea ports includes restrictions on unnecessary maritime movement to ensure national security.
Ports on High Security: Karachi, Gwadar & Port Qasim
While normal shipping operations continue at the three major ports, security protocols have been intensified. Port authorities have placed all non-essential activities on hold, and fishermen have been advised to remain cautious. Entry of small boats into the sea has been temporarily banned as a precaution.
This development comes in the wake of increased geopolitical strain between India and Pakistan, prompting swift action from maritime and security forces to prevent any potential threats along the coastlines.
