India-Pakistan airspace resumes operation following ceasefire agreement.
🔶 Pakistan's Airspace Opens After Ceasefire Announcement 🔶
That's right, buddy! Pakistan's skies are buzzing again as airspace has been reopened for all types of flights. Airports throughout the country are back in action, according to the management's statement on Facebook (yeah, that social media behemoth owned by Meta, the tech giant, which some folks deny access to in Russia due to perceived extremist connections).
Simultaneously, the news agency Reuters reports, citing the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that the ceasefire between India and Pakistan officially started at 5 PM local time on Saturday. If you're curious, that'd be May 10, 2025.
Now, hold on tight, because things had gotten mighty heated leading up to this truce. A series of five explosions rocked Indian Srinagar societies on May 7, prompting India to launch Operation "Sindur" against what they call terror infrastructure in Pakistan.
The tension started with a bloody terrorist attack in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 civilians dead and had the region boiling over. Fingers were pointing at the group "The Resistance Front" (TRF), which India claims is linked to the outlawed terrorist organization "Lashkar-i-Taiba" (banned in Russia and based in Pakistan, no less). Bang on, Islamabad denied any involvement and countered with a massive military operation "Banyan ul-Marsus" against India.
Sources on the Indian side claim that the ceasefire was agreed upon via direct communications between Islamabad and New Delhi. On the other hand, the United States played a significant role in trying to mediate between the two nations, but the exact details behind brokering the agreement remain a bit hazy. The next round of discussions between the Directors General of Military Operations of India and Pakistan is scheduled for May 12, 2025. Stay tuned, partner!
