In my sql instance I have configured log shipping on Prod database and same time there is a Maintenance plan which is taking the same database Full and Diff backups.
My question is will Maintenance plan's job (full and diff backups) will break Log shipping job? what happens in case of a disaster should I apply full bak and diff bak files first and then log files (which are taken by log shipping job)?

It's fine as long as log backups are not being taken by the maintenance plan or anything other than the log shipping job.

Make sure that the backup retention of the log shipping job is set long enough to recover from whichever backup you want.

you would have to re-initialise logshipping from a full backup (restored with norecovery) or a differential backup IF no full backups have been taken since the last log successfully restored on secondary.

They would make repairing log shipping a little easier, the differential base LSN is incremented after each full backup doesn't affect the log though.

should be fine if you din't take transcation log backup. Becuase FULL/DIFF backup doesn't break log chain.
