An Indian missile had landed near Mian Chunnu city in Pakistan's Punjab province on Wednesday.
New Delhi: Pakistan on Saturday said it was not satisfied with India's "simplistic explanation" on the "accidental firing" of a missile that landed in Pakistan's Punjab province and demanded a joint probe to accurately establish the facts surrounding the incident.
Foreign Office spokesperson said Pakistan has taken note of the Press Statement by India's Press Information Bureau's Defence Wing regretting the "accidental firing" of the Indian-origin missile into Pakistani territory on March 9 due to "technical malfunction" and the decision to hold a high-level Court of Inquiry.
Pakistan summoned India's Charge d'Affaires here on Friday and conveyed its strong protest over the unprovoked violation of its airspace by an Indian missile.
Pakistan's National Security Advisor Moeed Yusuf on Friday questioned India's ability to handle sensitive technologies and said the Indian government did not bother to inform Pakistan about the accidental missile firing incident.
The Foreign Office said the incident raises several fundamental questions regarding security protocols and technical safeguards against accidental or unauthorised missile launch in a nuclearised environment.
