‘Pak. Navy’s claims about intercepted submarine not credible’

It was 150 nautical miles off Karachi port

Pakistan’s claim on Tuesday that its Navy blocked an Indian submarine from entering its waters last week was not credible as the submarine's location, as per the details that came out, was way beyond the country's territorial water limits, people familiar with maritime operations saidon Wednesday.

They said Pakistan’s territorial waters extends up to 12 nautical miles from its coast. People familiar with maritime operations stated that the location of the submarine — as per details that came out — was 150 nautical miles from Karachi port which is beyond the limit of Pakistani waters.

There is no official comment by the Indian Navy on the Pakistani claim.
