In response to escalating India-Pakistan tensions, India has temporarily closed 24 airports across northern and western regions. Affected airports include Chandigarh, Srinagar, Jaisalmer, Shimla, and others. The closures follow Pakistani drone and missile attacks on Indian cities, including Jammu, Punjab, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Indian air defense systems intercepted these attacks, leading to blackouts and air raid sirens in several cities. The Civil Aviation Ministry announced the closures, and airlines have advised passengers to expect delays and enhanced security checks. The situation remains fluid as both nations continue to bolster security measures.
