The atmosphere of fear in Pakistan post India's airstrike is palpable, and there is an eerie silence in their skies. Satellite images clearly show that Pakistan's airspace is completely deserted, with no planes in sight.
According to local media in Pakistan, after India's airstrikes, Pakistan implemented high-security alerts at several key airports Wednesday morning, and all flights have been canceled. All domestic and international flights from Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport have also been canceled.
Even before the airstrikes, international flights had been avoiding Pakistan's airspace due to the threat of potential Indian responses after the Pahalgam attack. Now, post airstrike, not a single aircraft can be seen in Pakistan's airspace.

India's Airstrikes on Pakistan Overnight, Tuesday-Wednesday
On April 22, in retaliation for the Pakistan-sponsored attack in the Baisaran Valley of Pahalgam, India conducted airstrikes on Pakistan. In an overnight joint mission ‘Operation Sindoor’ by all three Indian military branches, 4 camps in Pakistan and 5 in Pakistan-administered Kashmir were targeted. Locations belonging to terror groups Jaish and Lashkar in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Gulpur, Kotli, Muzaffarabad, and others were hit. Reports suggest that 90 militants were killed in India’s airstrike.
Regarding the airstrikes, the Indian government stated, 'This operation targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, from where terrorism against India was planned.'
The increased tension between India and Pakistan also drew a reaction from China, considered a friend of Pakistan. A Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson expressed regret over India’s actions, stating, 'We are concerned about the current situation. India and Pakistan have always been neighbors, as they will always remain. Both countries are also neighbors to China. China opposes all forms of terrorism. We urge both sides to work in the interest of peace and stability, to remain calm, exercise restraint, and refrain from actions that could worsen the situation.'
