PNS Hunain vs INS Kolkata COLLISION! What Happened in the Arabian Sea? | Indo-Pak Naval Face-Off

PNS Hunain vs INS Kolkata: What really happened in the Arabian Sea? On September 15, 2026, a Pakistani naval vessel identified as PNS Hunain and an Indian Navy warship identified by Indian sources as INS Kolkata came into contact in the northern Arabian Sea, triggering a new diplomatic dispute between India and Pakistan. Reports say the incident occurred during a period of heightened naval activity, with Pakistan conducting its SEASPARK-26 exercise. The most important question is how and where the collision happened. Indian authorities say the incident took place in international waters, during a routine surveillance mission, and allege that PNS Hunain approached the Indian vessel at high speed and conducted an unsafe manoeuvre. Pakistan has presented a different account, saying the incident occurred inside Pakistan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and accusing the Indian vessel of aggressive manoeuvring near the Pakistani exercise area. Both countries subsequently lodged diplomatic protests. The incident has also brought renewed attention to the 1991 India-Pakistan Agreement on Advance Notice on Military Exercises, Manoeuvres and Troop Movements. Article 10 of that agreement says naval ships and submarines of the two countries should maintain a minimum separation of three nautical miles while operating in international waters, specifically to reduce the risk of accidents and escalation. India has cited this provision in its protest, while Pakistan disputes India's characterization of the incident. There is also a significant naval dimension to the story. PNS Hunain is a Yarmook-class Pakistani naval vessel, while INS Kolkata is a Kolkata-class Indian Navy destroyer. Reporting indicates that the Pakistani vessel sustained damage and returned toward port, while the Indian warship continued its mission; however, details regarding the precise damage and circumstances remain subject to differing accounts. In this video, we examine the PNS Hunain–INS Kolkata collision, the timeline of events, the competing Indian and Pakistani accounts, the location of the encounter, the significance of the 1991 naval safety agreement, the role of SEASPARK-26, and what this incident could mean for maritime security in the Arabian Sea. Rather than relying on social-media speculation, the discussion separates reported facts, official claims and disputed interpretations surrounding the incident. The collision is particularly significant because India and Pakistan have a history of military tensions, and incidents involving naval forces can carry risks beyond the immediate physical contact between vessels. The latest episode has already moved from a maritime incident into the diplomatic arena, with both governments summoning each other's representatives and issuing competing accounts of responsibility. Watch the full analysis to understand what happened between PNS Hunain and INS Kolkata, what the 1991 agreement actually says, why the Arabian Sea matters strategically, and why this naval encounter has attracted attention far beyond the two ships involved.
