The Pakistani Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the attack by an "extremist gang" on its consulate in Frankfurt, criticising the "failure of German authorities to protect the security" of diplomatic premises.

The ministry stated that the consulate's security was breached, endangering the lives of its staff. The statement called on Germany to immediately arrest the perpetrators of the Saturday attack. It emphasised that, according to the Vienna Convention, protecting the sanctity of consular premises and ensuring the safety of diplomats is the responsibility of the host government.

On Saturday evening, videos circulated on social media showing a number of angry protesters entering the premises of the Pakistani consulate in Frankfurt and taking down the country's flag. The incident occurred during a demonstration in support of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement in Pakistan and in protest against the killing of Gilaman Wazir, a member of the movement.

As of now, German police have not commented on the incident.
