India has summoned Pakistan’s top diplomat in New Delhi following a naval collision between an Indian warship and a Pakistani naval ship in international waters, which India claims violates a 1991 bilateral agreement requiring a three-nautical-mile distance between military vessels. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs accused Pakistan's navy of "unacceptable and unprofessional conduct" and has instructed its diplomats to lodge protests with Pakistan's foreign ministry. This incident marks the first direct military tension between the two countries since their four-day conflict last year, with both nations having no ambassadors in each other's capitals since 2019.
India has protested against Pakistan for "unacceptable and unprofessional conduct" following a collision between a Pakistani naval ship and an Indian warship in the Arabian Sea. The incident occurred as Pakistan's naval units approached at high speed, violating a 1991 agreement that mandates a distance of at least three nautical miles in international waters; fortunately, no major damage was reported. Concurrently, the US Senate has passed a sanctions bill that could allow President Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries buying Russian energy, potentially impacting India's energy imports amidst its growing ties with Russia.
