A day after an Indian-origin supersonic flying object crashed in Mian Chunnu, Pakistan summoned Charge d’Affaires of India to Foreign Office to lodge a strong protest against the unprovoked violation of its airspace.
In a statement, Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said the projectile entered Pakistan from ‘Suratgarh’ India at 1843 hrs on Thursday and crashed near Mian Chunnu city at around 1850 hrs causing damage to civilian property.
He said Indian diplomat was conveyed that the imprudent launch of flying object not only caused damage to civilian property but also put at risk human lives on ground.
The spokesperson said flight path of flying object endangered several domestic and international flights within Pakistani airspace and could have resulted in a serious aviation accident.
“Such irresponsible incidents were also reflective of India’s disregard for air safety and callousness towards regional peace and stability,” he underscored.
The Foreign Office spokesperson called for a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident, the outcome of which must be shared with Pakistan.
