Rattled Pak Restricts Airspace: After facing a shameful defeat from India(BHARAT) during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan is behaving extra cautious, and the recent example of this is that Islamabad has issued a notification restricting multiple air traffic routes across its central and southern airspace. The decision has been taken as India(BHARAT) is preparing for its tri-services exercise – Trishul – along the border. Pakistan has not provided an explanation for the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) issued for October 28-29. However, analysts suggest that it may be related to a military drill or a potential weapons test.
