Ship from China to Karachi arrives at Kandla port, 22 crew members aboard

Kandla Date: 17 February 2020, Monday

A ship sailing from China to the Pakistani port of Karachi was stopped at Kandla port.

The authorities suspected that the ship was carrying stolen ballistic missile-making materials. The vessel stands on a jetty of fifteen in Kandla and Indian authorities were investigating the contents.

The ship has as many as twenty-two crew members. The ship was halted on February 3rd. A Hong Kong flag was placed on it to hide the ship's identity.

A team from the DRDO has checked the ship. Currently, the other team is examining who is on the ship. Pakistan was also secretly poised for war-related content in the past. Its atomic material was thus obtained in secret.

Customs officials told the media that the ship was intercepted when we received information that something was being carried secretly on a ship heading from China to Pakistan.
