- Indian and Pakistani naval vessels collided on Tuesday, setting off tit-for-tat accusations.
- Pakistan’s government summoned India’s top diplomat in Islamabad on Wednesday, mirroring action New Delhi had taken hours earlier when it summoned Pakistan’s charge d’affaires and lodged a protest of its own over the incident.
