ISLAMABAD, June 14: Pakistan has pulled back its warships from alert positions in the Arabian Sea after the Indian Navy withdrew from the area, a military spokesman told AFP on Friday.

“Pakistan Navy has moved its assets to forward position because of the Indian posture and now they are returning to their peace-time locations,” he said.

“The acting high commissioner of India was summoned to the foreign ministry on Friday and informed about the decision of the Pakistan government to recall the Pakistan Navy assets deployed in the high seas to their bases,” the statement said.—AFP
