MUMBAI: India has suspended civilian flights at 24 airports in the north following fighting with nuclear-armed rival Pakistan.
Nearly 50 people have perished, mainly in Pakistan, since India launched air strikes on Wednesday targeting “terrorist camps” and sparking the worst clashes between the neighbours in decades.
Late yesterday, the Indian government released a list of 24 airports that have been closed for civilian flights, including in the cities of Jodhpur, Ludhiana and Amritsar near the western border with Pakistan.
