India's defence ministry confirmed the accidental firing of a missile into Pakistan due to a technical malfunction during routine maintenance, calling the incident "deeply regrettable."
The missile landed in Pakistani territory, causing no loss of life, but prompted strong condemnation from Islamabad.
Pakistan's foreign ministry summoned India's charge d'affaires, protesting the "unprovoked violation" of its airspace and accusing India of "callousness towards regional peace and stability."
This incident underscores the volatile relationship between the nuclear-armed neighbours, who share a heavily militarized border and a history of conflicts over disputed regions like Kashmir.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
