Pakistan Navy Ship Collision Sparks Diplomatic Protest From India | India-Pakistan | News Periscope

A tense encounter between Indian and Pakistani naval vessels in international waters has triggered fresh concerns over maritime safety and naval conduct. A Pakistani corvette reportedly closed in on an Indian warship off the Gulf of Oman despite multiple radio warnings, eventually resulting in a minor collision.

Pakistan disputed India’s account at the time.Meanwhile, a separate investigation has alleged that a Pakistan-linked military intelligence network targeted unemployed Indian journalism graduates to spread anti-India narratives through fake news platforms. The operation, reportedly linked to an individual identified as Lt Col Zia, allegedly involved cryptocurrency payments and platforms such as Bharat Bites News.From tensions at sea to alleged information warfare, watch the full report for details of the developments and the questions they raise for India’s security. -periscope n18oc_india CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
