Meanwhile, SpiceJet has also announced that, due to the ongoing situation, airports in parts of northern India-including Dharamshala, Leh, Jammu, Srinagar, and Amritsar have been closed.

This comes after the Indian armed forces launched a major military operation called Operation Sindoor early Wednesday morning.

The operation is aimed at destroying terror camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), in response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians were killed by terrorists backed-by Pakistan.

In preparation for any response from across the border, India has placed all air defence units along the India-Pakistan border on high alert, officials said.
