Following the incident, India had "taken serious note" of the PMSA resorting to "unprovoked firing on an Indian fishing boat" and decided to take up this issue diplomatically with the Pakistan side, official sources said. ADVERTISEMENT Firing on traditional fishing boats is a clear violation of the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea. PAKISTAN'S VERSION Meanwhile, Pakistan claimed that the boat had “illegally transgressed” into the country's territorial waters, adding that it fired at the Indian boat only when it paid no heed despite PMSA's “warning” . “Pakistan Maritime Security Agency’s ships attempted to interdict the intruding boat, which even after repeated warnings did not respond or change course. PMSA ship fired warning shots in the vicinity of the Indian boat but again the boat did not stop its engines. Subsequently, PMSA fired directly onto the Indian boat after which it halted,” an official statement said. According to Pakistan’s statement, the other six people onboard the boat have been taken into custody for questioning.
