In the evening hours of 5 December 1971, Flight Lieutenant Shabbir A Khan was informed of his assignment to carry out the Okha strike. Accompanied by his navigator, Squadron Leader Ansar Ahmad, Khan prepared to attack the Okha Naval Base, targeting fuel dumps, ammunition storage, and the jetty.[2] Departing Karachi at 2210 hours in a B-57 Canberra bomber, the crew navigated along the Kutch Coast to avoid detection. Reaching Okha, Khan and Ahmad executed a low-altitude bombing run, releasing nine 500-lb bombs, which resulted in a direct hit on fuel and ammunition storage.[3] The successful attack disrupted Indian missile boat operations, as a special fuel tank was destroyed, hampering further Indian naval incursions from Okha.[4]
