India Pakistan Peace Deal: Pakistan reopened its airspace to all commercial and military flights on Saturday, following a ceasefire agreement with India. The move came after several days of intense cross-border conflict, sparked by Pakistan’s missile and drone strikes on Indian infrastructure. These attacks were in retaliation for India’s targeted Operation Sindoor, which aimed to dismantle terror launchpads in Pakistan in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 that killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindus.
In an official statement, the Pakistan Airports Authority announced that all airports nationwide had resumed normal operations as of 5:00 PM IST. “Pakistan’s airspace is now fully open for all types of flights,” the statement read.
Prior to this, Pakistan had suspended all flights and closed several key airways, including those over Lahore and Karachi, due to escalating military tensions. The closure significantly disrupted international aviation, leading to widespread flight cancellations and rerouting.
Still on India Pakistan Peace Deal
The ceasefire was officially announced by Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri during a short press briefing in New Delhi. Misri noted that Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations contacted his Indian counterpart at 3:35 PM IST. Both sides agreed to cease all military operations by land, sea, and air, effective from 5:00 PM IST. Orders were given to fully implement the ceasefire, with further talks scheduled for May 12 at noon.
Tensions rose sharply after India carried out airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday, in retaliation for the Pahalgam attack. In response, Pakistan launched drone and missile strikes on Indian military and civilian targets along the western border. India countered Pakistan’s multi-domain offensive with drones, fighter jets, and long-range missiles.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration took credit for brokering the ceasefire. Trump claimed to have facilitated the dialogue, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio tweeted that negotiations between the two countries would soon be held at a neutral venue. However, Indian officials clarified that no talks beyond the ceasefire agreement had been agreed upon.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the ceasefire had been implemented as of 4:30 PM Pakistan time. He warned against any further Indian aggression while expressing gratitude to the international community for its role in the peace process.
With airspace now open and diplomatic communication restored, focus has shifted to whether the ceasefire will endure and whether Pakistan will maintain its peace stance or return to its usual provocations.
The Taliban has arrested 14 individuals for playing music and singing.
