MEA Summons Pakistan Envoy After India–Pak Naval Ships Collide in Arabian Sea
India and Pakistan are facing renewed diplomatic tensions after a Pakistani naval vessel collided with an Indian Navy warship in the North Arabian Sea. India has summoned Pakistan’s chargé d’affaires and lodged a strong protest, citing unsafe and unprofessional naval conduct. Pakistan has issued its own protest, disputing India’s account of the incident. As both sides invoke maritime rules and a decades-old bilateral agreement, the collision raises a larger question: can a potentially dangerous encounter at sea remain contained before it becomes a wider regional crisis?
