Conflicts negatively affect civil aviation
The conflict between the two countries, which began with an attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 and aggravated after India fired on various areas of Pakistan on May 6, negatively affects civil aviation, since the flights of flights to the region are violated and the flight time for those who use this route.
According to the Flight Radar 24 site, which tracks the movement of civil aviation around the world, a large number of flights were canceled after on May 6 India delivered a missile blow to some areas of Pakistan.
Assignment of the conflict after the Indian missile strikes
India on May 6 struck missile strikes on the territory of Pakistan, including Azad Kashmir, located under Pakistani control.
The attack was a response to a terrorist attack, which occurred on April 22 in the Indian district of Pakhalgam, as a result of which 26 people were killed.
According to the Indian side, nine goals that she described as “terrorist objects” were successfully affected. However, the Pakistani authorities claim that the attacks were on six civilian facilities, as a result of which eight people died, including a child, 35 were injured, two more are missing.
The Pakistani Army announced the confusion of five Indian fighters during the attack, but in New Delhi refuted this information.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, announced the military operation “Sindur” and described it as a “moment of pride”. Sindur is a red powder, which is applied with married Indian women along the parting and in the form of a point on the forehead.
