INDO-PAK WAR of 1965 |
|
September 07, 1965: On this day, a flotilla of
the Pakistan Navy carried out a bombardment of the Indian Navy's radar
station coastal down of Dwarka, which was 200 miles (320 km) south of
the Pakistani port of Karachi. Operation Dwarka, was nothing but a nuisance raid. About 135 commandos were airdropped at three Indian airfields
(Halwara, Pathankot and Adampur). The overdaring attempt proved to be a
"disaster". Only 22 commandos returned to Pakistan, 93 were
taken prisoners, and 20 were killed. |
