In a retaliatory move, Pakistan claimed it shot down five Indian Air Force jets and a drone, further fueling fears of a broader conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. The closure of Pakistan’s airspace has had a ripple effect across regional and international flight routes, with multiple airlines, including Qatar Airways, forced to reroute or cancel flights.
In a broader diplomatic response, the State of Qatar expressed “deep concern” over the continued escalation between India and Pakistan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement urging both nations to de-escalate and resolve the crisis through dialogue and diplomatic channels, emphasizing the importance of regional stability and the avoidance of further violence.
