Pakistan expresses serious concern over Indian airspace violation

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday conveyed serious concern to the Indian High Commission over the airspace violation by two Indian fighter jets.

The Indian fighter jets intruded 4 kilometers into Head Sulemanki area at 10:40 AM (Tuesday) and stayed in Pakistani airspace for about two minutes.

According to a Foreign Office press release, Pakistan considers the airspace violation as a contravention of the “1991 Agreement between Pakistan and India on Prevention of Airspace Violations and for Permitting over Flights and Landings by Military Aircraft.”

While voicing its concerns with the Indian government, the Government of Pakistan called upon it to respect all existing agreements and CBMs that have been reached between the two countries.
