Iran, Pakistan Hold Joint Naval Drill


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iranian fleet of warships that has berthed at Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi attended a joint naval relief and rescue drill with Pakistani naval forces on Saturday.

The Iranian Navy’s 43rd flotilla docked at Karachi port on September 27.

On Saturday, the Iranian flotilla held a joint drill with the Pakistani forces off the coasts of Karachi to practice naval rescue and relief operations.

Four vessels and a helicopter attended the drill on behalf of Iran, including Lavan logistic warship, Falakhan and Khanjar missile-launching vessels and Konarak warship.
