Pakistan has sent a demarche to India’s Chargé d’AffairesGeetika Srivastava and summoned her to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa).

In a statement, the Mofa said the envoy was summoned to receive Pakistan’s “strong protest over the unprovoked Indian strikes at multiple locations across Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir”.

“It was conveyed that India’s blatant act of aggression constitutes a clear violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty,” the foreign ministry said.

It stressed that the strikes were in “contravention of the UN Charter, international law, and established norms governing inter-state relations”.

“Pakistan firmly rejected India’s baseless justifications for its hostile conduct. The Indian side was warned that such reckless behaviour poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability,” Mofa said.
