US EditionIndia, Pak Extend Airspace Ban for Each Other Till July 24
- Pakistan extended its airspace ban on all Indian-registered and operated aircraft, including military flights, until 5:00 am on July 24, 2025.
- The ban originated on April 24 following India's punitive response to the Pahalgam terror attack, which included India's closure of airspace to Pakistani flights starting April 23.
