Earlier, SpiceJet said that due to the ongoing situation, “airports in parts of northern India, including Dharamshala (DHM), Leh (IXL), Jammu (IXJ), Srinagar (SXR), and Amritsar (ATQ), are closed until further notice”.

India carried out ‘Operation Sindoor’ with precision, targeting terrorist infrastructure associated with groups responsible for the attack.
The Indian government confirmed that all nine targets were successfully struck, with no civilian or military infrastructure in Pakistan being affected. The strikes were part of India’s response to the April 22 terror attack that claimed the lives of 25 Indians and one Nepali national in Jammu and Kashmir.
