Naval Collision Sparks Diplomatic Row: Pakistan Summons Indian Diplomat After New Delhi's Protest

Islamabad alleged that an Indian Navy vessel carried out “aggressive manoeuvres” dangerously close to a Pakistani naval ship.

Pakistan on Wednesday summoned India’s Charge d’Affaires in Islamabad and lodged a strong protest over what it called a “provocative" Indian naval action that allegedly led to a collision with a Pakistani Navy vessel in the Arabian Sea.

The move came hours after New Delhi summoned Pakistan’s Charge d’Affaires and lodged a strong protest over what it called the “unacceptable conduct" of a Pakistan Navy vessel that led to a collision with an Indian Navy frontline warship in the Arabian Sea.
