New Delhi:

The Indian Navy on Saturday shared a picture featuring a surface ship, a submarine, and a helicopter, calling it the "trident of Naval Power".

The picture, posted on X, shows the destroyer INS Kolkata, the Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), and a Scorpene-class submarine.

"The trident of Naval Power - Above, below and across the waves," the Navy wrote.

The picture, which has now gone viral, is likely a file photo as Dhruv ALH is presently grounded in the Navy.

The post came amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22.

India, citing "cross-border linkages" to the attack that left 26 people dead, has announced a raft of punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, shutting down of the only operational land border crossing at Attari and downgrading of diplomatic ties.

Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the "perpetrators and conspirators" of the Pahalgam attack will be "served with the harshest response".

"The whole world stands with 140 crore Indians in our fight against terrorism. I once again assure the affected families that they will get justice, and justice will be done," he said in his 'Mann ki Baat' address.

"The perpetrators and conspirators of this attack will be served with the harshest response," he added.
