Sat May 10 00:40:51 UTC 2025: ## India-Pakistan Airspace Closure After Missile and Drone Attacks
**New Delhi, May 10, 2025** – Tensions escalated sharply between India and Pakistan overnight, leading to the closure of Pakistani airspace and the cancellation of flights at multiple Indian airports. Pakistan claims that three of its airbases – Nur Khan, Murid, and Rafiqui – were targeted by Indian missiles and drones early Saturday morning. Pakistan’s military spokesperson, Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif Chaudhry, confirmed the attacks at a press conference, stating that all Air Force assets remained safe despite the assault. Pakistan subsequently launched a counter-attack, reportedly using drones to target 26 locations across India, from Jammu and Kashmir to Gujarat. The Indian defense ministry reported successfully thwarting these attacks, preventing damage to vital installations. This follows Thursday’s incident where Indian air defenses intercepted at least eight Pakistani missiles targeting Jammu, including its airport. India has extended the cancellation of flight operations at 32 airports until May 15th. Pakistan’s airspace closure is currently in effect until 4 p.m. local time. The situation remains highly volatile.
