FO summons Indian diplomat over deadly strikes

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday summoned the Indian Chargé d’Affaires to formally protest the unprovoked missile strikes carried out by Indian forces across multiple locations in Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, which resulted in civilian casualties including women and children.

In a statement, the Foreign Office said the Indian diplomat was handed a strong demarche, condemning the attacks as a blatant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. “Such actions are in contravention of the UN Charter, international law, and established norms governing inter-state relations,” the spokesperson said.

Pakistan rejected India’s justifications for the strikes as baseless and warned that such reckless military behavior risked further destabilizing the region.

The Foreign Office emphasized that peace and stability in South Asia cannot be ensured if such provocative actions go unchecked.
