Pakistan has closed its airspace for all kinds of traffic after India launched retaliatory strikes in the wake of Islamabad’s unprovoked firing along the Line of Control (LoC) and drone attacks in the last three days.
The airspace will remain shut till noon today, said the spokesperson of Pakistan Airports. Authority Islamabad has been using its airspace as a shield to protect itself against India’s counter-strikes.
Islamabad has been launching drone attacks on cities in India for three consecutive days. However, India successfully thwarted Pakistan’s attempts to hit vital installations, including airports and air bases.
Tension between the two neighbours soared after the Indian armed forces on Wednesday conducted precision strikes targeting terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in response to the April 22 attack by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
