- The Ministry of External Affairs rejected Pakistan's "baseless and motivated allegations," urging Islamabad to investigate the "complicity" of their border forces in cross-border infiltration and drug smuggling.
- Officials stated the incident reflects a pattern of "repeated cross-border movement by armed narcotics syndicates" and urged Pakistan to "ensure respect for the sanctity of the International Border" and prevent recurrence.
