· World · Times of India, News18
A Pakistan Navy Yarmook-class corvette, PNS Hunain, sustained severe damage following a collision with an Indian warship in the North Arabian Sea on September 15, 2026. The incident occurred while the Indian vessel was conducting a routine surveillance mission, with reports stating the Pakistani ship maneuvered in an unprofessional and unsafe manner. New Delhi subsequently summoned Pakistan's Charge d'Affaires to the Ministry of External Affairs to lodge a formal protest regarding the conduct of the naval unit. India stated the maneuver breached Article 10 of the 1991 bilateral agreement, which mandates a minimum three-nautical-mile distance between naval units during exercises. The Pakistani vessel has since returned to its harbor, and no casualties were reported.
Why it matters
The collision marks a significant breach of bilateral maritime safety protocols, raising concerns about regional stability and the potential for escalation between the two navies in the Arabian Sea.
