Newton’s third law is naively violated in relativistic mechanics when there is field potential momentum.

Is Newton's third law correct?

Formally stated, Newton’s third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.
