India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated that a Pakistani vessel acted in an unacceptable manner during a recent interaction with INS Kolkata, a primary stealth guided-missile destroyer of the Indian Navy.
According to official briefings, INS Kolkata was carrying out a regular, scheduled deployment when the encounter occurred. The Ministry highlighted that the actions of the Pakistani craft deviated from established international maritime norms and safety standards.
INS Kolkata, named in honor of West Bengal's capital city, remains a key front-line surface combatant for the Indian Navy. The MEA reiterated India's commitment to maintaining regional maritime security while highlighting the necessity for all vessels to adhere strictly to navigational protocols.
