The Indian authorities announced the closure of the country’s airspace to the Pakistani aircraft on Wednesday, April 30, responding to the prohibition of Islamabad from the overview of its territory to the Indian airplanes, a new development in the escalation that followed a murderous attack in Cashmere.
Nueva Delhi accuses Islamabad of having supported the deadliest attack for several decades against civilians under the Indian administration on April 22, during which 26 men were killed.
Islamabad rejected this accusation, but the two countries have had shots along its border and have taken returnals and the closure of the border.
A measure for registered or rented aircraft
Nueva Delhi specifies that the Indian airspace is closed for registered or rented Pakistani aircraft, “including military flights” until May 23, in an advertisement to air operators. Pakistan had closed his airspace in Indian airplanes on April 24.
Pakistan said Wednesday that he anticipates an imminent Indian strike in his territory.
On Tuesday, the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, had announced to the Armed Forces “that they had the freedom to decide on the objectives, the moment and the mode of Indian response to the attack” of April 22, said a source of the government on condition of anonymity.
The Pakistani government has denied any participation in the attack and promised that “any act of aggression will be the subject of a decisive response.”
