Afghanistan Imposes Airspace Restrictions on Pakistan in Response to Recent Attacks

Afghanistan has decided to implement its own airspace restrictions against Pakistan. The Taliban government has suddenly closed its airspace, resulting in the establishment of a no-entry zone for Pakistan. This decision will directly affect Pakistan’s incoming and outgoing flights. The Afghan government has temporarily closed its airspace for Pakistani aircraft and transit flights. As a result, many PIA flights will have to be cancelled. International cargo and Hajj routes will be most affected. The Taliban has not provided any specific reason for this action, but claims it is in response to recent attacks on Afghan territory by Pakistan.
