Pakistan's civil aviation authority has confirmed the closure of its airspace, while its Indian counterpart has barred all flights from eight northern airports, amid clashes between the nations' forces in the disputed Kashmir region.
India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued a NOTAM barring flights in and out of Amritsar, Jammu, Kangra, Kullu Manali, Kushok Bakula, Pathankot, Rimpochee, Shimla and Srinajar "due to operational reasons", shortly before 11:30 local time.
IndiGo, Vistara and SpiceJet have confirmed suspensions of flights to the affected airports. In IndiGo's case, Chandigarh and Dehradun join Amritsar, Jammu and Srinajar among the airports from which flights have been halted.
The Indian NOTAM comes amid conflict between India and Pakistan, after the Indian air force entered Pakistan-controlled territory in the disputed Kashmir region on 26 February and attacked a suspected terrorist-training camp.
Pakistan's government today said its air force had shot down two Indian aircraft inside Pakistani airspace.

Pakistan was harboring terrorists again. They had to know it was coming
This has got to be a bigger story than Cohen, and could turn ugly fast.
If people are not concerned about this just a little they are not paying attention. Crazy people with nukes, shooting at each other is never a good thing.
Not just harboring, but actively supporting too.
Remember, their ISI was the agency who set up Bin Laden’s safe house ... right next to their HQ ... something which they have never explained ...
Pakistan, our “great ally” in the War on Terror
As are “our dear friends, the saudis”...
About 190 muslims within India borders. Talk about the enemy within..
You will take the treatments and drugs they "prescribe" or else!
190 would be easy to eliminate with one bomb...now 190,000,000 is another thing. Maybe lots of bombs? It may be the only way.
The whole reason for Paki to even exist was for the slimes to leave India. There never was a pakistain till the muds carved up a nation to build an attack/staging area.
On the one side, India has six times the population, an economy that’s eight times bigger, and has a correspondingly larger military.
On the other side, Pakistan has crazy jihadis who are eager to kill and don’t care that much about dying. Plus 10% of the Indian population is Muslim, and any war with a Muslim country may see them rising up inside India.
In any major Hindu/Muslim conflict, expect India’s Muslim population to be early targets for the Hindus.
The Hindus can get crazy too, to a lesser extent.
Whose side are we are on? I imagine the wrong one.
Unlike most every other nation with nuclear arms, Pakistan gives full launch command decisions to it’s military leaders.
“Unlike most every other nation with nuclear arms, Pakistan gives full launch command decisions to its military leaders”.
That’s scary.
I think Trump has tried to bring us closer to India.
Indian student assistant (a really pro American and conservative woman who finally gained legal citizenship proudly) a few years ago said Muslims kill people all over India. Muslims promised “If you give us the land for Bangla Desh we will never ask for anything again.”
Concert for Bangladesh with rock stars and weeping for Muslims “refugees”.
Then decades of hateful terrorist acts against India continued. She said when these happened, such as innocent Indian civilians all burned to death on a bus by Muslims, the Indians “got really mad” and fought the ones connected by family or town residence. I said “Yeah, people here get mad sometimes but not much.”
She said “No, I mean really mad. They ambush another bus with the Muslims, pull them out and beat them to death, tearing their arms and legs off. That kind of thing. Muslims notice that.”
Oh.

No dog in that fight.
If the nukes fly between India and Pakistan, the death toll will escalate at a VERY high pace. Millions of Indians and Pakistanis dead in just over 90 minutes will give everyone pause. And the uncontrolled fires from burning cities like New Delhi, Islamabad, Mumbai and Karachi could have bad environmental effects on western China and parts of Southeast Asia.
