Pakistan Reopens Lahore and Karachi Airspace After Indian Strikes Kill 26 Civilians

The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has reopened airspace for Lahore and Karachi, following a 48-hour closure due to deadly Indian airstrikes on multiple Pakistani cities. A NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) has been officially released, allowing flight operations to resume from both cities. However, travelers have been urged to remain in close contact with their respective airlines, as schedules could still shift depending on evolving safety assessments. The closure was implemented after India launched coordinated attacks on six different locations across Pakistan on Tuesday night.
