Military Spat Closes Pakistan Airspace, Snarls Traffic
Pakistan’s civil aviation authority said flight operations in northeastern and northwestern regions of Pakistan will remain suspended until further notice.

India has reopened eight airports it had closed this morning following Pakistan's F-16 fighters violating Indian airspace. Indian military fighters struck what it claims were terrorist training camps in Pakistan yesterday, an action that was in response to a militant that killed more than 40 Indian troops in disputed Kashmir on February 14. As a result, Pakistan’s civil aviation authority has said flight operations in northeastern and northwestern regions of Pakistan will remain suspended until further notice. The India-Pakistan military action also caused airspace over Afghanistan to be closed for several hours earlier today.
