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.
