Pakistan protests Indian naval vessel’s EEZ entry

Pakistan has protested the entry of an Indian naval vessel into its Exclusive Economic Zone. According to the Daily Times, the Foreign Office said the INS Kolkata attempted to enter an area where Pakistan Navy exercises were underway and conducted dangerous manoeuvres near Pakistani ships.

The incident involved a collision between the INS Kolkata and a Pakistani ship, the PNS Hunain, which was damaged. The Indian Express reported that the collision occurred about 120 nautical miles from the Gulf of Oman, and that the Pakistani vessel approached the Indian warship at high speed in an unsafe manner.

India summoned Pakistan's Charge d'Affaires in New Delhi over the incident, accusing the Pakistani vessel of "unacceptable and unprofessional conduct" that contravened a 1991 agreement between the two countries on advance notice of military exercises.
