Cross-border and diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan have begun to ripple across international air travel, after India launched air strikes on nine militant-linked sites across Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Pakistani territory early Wednesday.
The strikes, part of what India has called 'Operation Sindoor,' come in response to a deadly attack in the Pahalgam region that left 26 civilians dead. While New Delhi insists the action was targeted and restrained, the situation on the ground remains fluid — and commercial airlines are not waiting to see how it unfolds.
