Pakistan Slams Indian Warship’s Incursion as “Provocative and Irresponsible”

Pakistan vs India – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – Pakistan has raised a strong complaint against India after an alleged Indian warship’s incursion near its coastal waters on September 15, 2026. Officials called the move dangerous and unacceptable. This is the first open military friction between the two nuclear-armed neighbours since their brief but intense conflict last year.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called in the Indian charge d’affaires in Islamabad. Spokesperson Sajjad Haider Khan shared the government’s stance in a public statement.

He said the incident happened while Pakistan’s navy was busy with its regular exercise, called SEASPARK-26. This drill takes place every two years and tests the navy’s readiness at sea.

According to the statement, an Indian navy ship moved in an aggressive way. It came too close to a Pakistani vessel. This close movement led to actual contact between the two ships.

Pakistan called this action a clear breach of international law. It also said India broke an old bilateral pact signed in 1991. That agreement asks both sides to give advance notice before military drills near shared waters.

The spokesperson warned that such actions could raise tensions in an already sensitive region. He asked India to follow global rules and past agreements meant to avoid sea-based conflicts.

Pakistan’s message to India was firm. The country rejected what it called a “belligerent” act by the Indian ship. It urged New Delhi to act responsibly and avoid steps that could hurt peace in South Asia.

At the same time, Pakistan’s high commission staff in New Delhi will also share the same protest with India’s foreign ministry. This shows Pakistan is raising its voice through both channels.

The Foreign Office also spoke to the wider world. It asked global powers to push India toward calm and away from actions that could spark new conflict.

Officials said the region cannot keep living under constant fear of conflict. They blamed India for what they see as a repeated pattern of risky moves at sea and on land.

This event comes just over a year after a major clash between the two countries. In May 2025, India struck several Pakistani cities. This followed a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir’s Pahalgam area.

Pakistan hit back with a large military response, known as Operation Bunyanum Marsoos. Indian military sites were targeted during this counter operation.

During that four-day conflict, Pakistan claimed to shoot down eight Indian jets, including three Rafale planes. Several drones were also destroyed in the process.

The fighting lasted close to 87 hours. It ended only after the United States stepped in to help broker a ceasefire on May 10, 2025.

Now, more than a year later, this fresh naval incident brings back old fears. Experts worry that even small clashes at sea could quickly turn into bigger problems if both sides don’t show restraint.

For now, Pakistan has made its position clear through official diplomatic channels. The coming days will show how India responds to this fresh round of protest.
