India says a Pakistani naval ship collides with an Indian Navy unit in international waters in the Arabian Sea, prompting New Delhi to summon Pakistan’s envoy for a formal protest. India’s foreign ministry states the incident occurs during military operations and does not result in major damage.
According to Indian reporting, the collision happens during a routine surveillance mission, raising navigational safety concerns. The Indian government also says the Pakistani ship’s conduct is in direct contravention of a mutual agreement governing such interactions at sea.
While all outlets describe the event as occurring in international waters and note no significant damage, they differ slightly in emphasis: one account highlights the absence of major impact and the breach of an agreement, while another additionally stresses the routine nature of the Indian operation and the safety concern over navigation. Overall, the diplomatic step is consistent across reports, with India formally raising the issue with Islamabad’s diplomatic representative.
