India on Thursday condemned the trespassing of the Indian embassy in Croatia and the vandalisation of the national flag by Khalistani activists and said the perpetrators should be held accountable. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) confirmed that radical activists breached the diplomatic premises in a midnight raid, reportedly removing the Indian national flag and replacing it with a Khalistani flag. The incident occurred just days before India's Republic Day on January 26, a period of heightened security for Indian missions worldwide. Indian officials have demanded that the Croatian government hold the perpetrators accountable for what they termed "reprehensible and illegal actions."

Croatian law enforcement has reportedly initiated an investigation into the midnight breach. The Indian embassy in Zagreb has since restored the national flag and remains in close coordination with local security agencies to prevent further provocations during the Republic Day celebrations. This was the latest in a series of actions by Khalistani activists targeting Indian missions abroad, though most such incidents have been reported from Canada, the UK and the US. Croatia is a member of the European Union and the embassy in Zagreb was targeted days ahead of the India-EU Summit in New Delhi on January 27.
