Two Pakistan Navy sailors lost their lives while on duty at sea to maintain security, according to the Navy’s Directorate-General of Public Relations (DGPR). The statement released on X revealed that Shoaibur Rehman (PMA-IV) and Ghufran Nasar (PMT-II) gave their lives while patrolling the waters. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Naveed Ashraf expressed his profound grief over the tragic loss.
Senior naval officials attended the sailors' funerals and met with their families, the DGPR added. In March of the current year, the Pakistan Navy initiated Operation Muhafizul Bahr, aimed at countering various threats to national shipping and maritime trade. This decision came in the wake of the US-Iran war, and was a response to the "evolving regional maritime security environment and potential disruptions to critical sea lanes."
With around 90 percent of Pakistan's trade transpiring via sea, the operation sought to ensure the safety, security, and uninterrupted flow of vital sea routes.
