Pakistan Closes Airspace for 48 Hours After Indian Strikes Kill 26, Injure 46

Pakistan has closed its airspace for 48 hours following missile strikes by India, which targeted locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The closure affects major airports including Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore, leading to the suspension of all flight operations.

The Indian military conducted precision strikes on nine terrorist camps in response to the Pahalgam attack, as reported by Indian officials. Pakistan has reported that the strikes resulted in at least 26 deaths and 46 injuries, including civilian casualties. In response, Pakistan has vowed to retaliate, describing the Indian actions as an 'act of war.'

In India, 24 airports have been closed to civilian flights due to the escalating conflict. Air India has canceled flights to eight northern airports, and other airlines have been affected by the situation. The tensions stem from a recent attack in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, where 26 people were killed.
