India has restored operations at 32 airports after a ceasefire with Pakistan, which has ended the worst fighting since 1999.
On Monday, India reopened 32 airports after a weekend ceasefire with neighboring Pakistan, which ended the worst fights since 1999. TASR reports according to AFP report.
The statement of the Indian Aviation Authority states that 32 airports – from Šrínagar in the Indian part of Kashmir to Bhuj, Gujarate in the West of the country, is available for civilian aircraft with immediate validity. The Pakistani Air Office opened its airspace on Saturday.
Airports again in operation
Indian Airlines, the largest Indian airline, said it “gradually launches operation on originally closed routes”.
The airports closed last week for intensive four -day fighting between Pakistan and India, which killed at least 60 people and thousands of people fled. The situation has raised concerns that attacks could grow into war.
The conflict exacerbation
The conflict raised on Wednesday before dawn when India attacked missiles in several areas of Pakistan. It was a reaction to the attack of the gunmen on tourists in Kashmir from April 22, in which 26 people died. India accused Pakistan of supporting this incident, but Islamabad denied his participation and immediately answered the rockets with a strong artillery fire.
On Saturday, both countries closed the ceasefire, although they have already accused each other of it. Both India and Pakistan said the situation in the border areas was calm from night to Monday.
