India Issues Airspace Notice for IAF Drill Near Pakistan Border Amid Regional Tensions

India has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) reserving airspace for an Indian Air Force exercise near its southern border with Pakistan from March 5 to 12. This routine military drill has prompted heightened alertness in Pakistan, which is managing multiple security challenges along its western borders and maritime areas amid regional instability. Pakistani officials have reportedly redeployed additional air and ground assets to monitor the exercise, reflecting concerns over stretched military resources in the context of ongoing regional tensions.
