Investing.com -- As tensions mount between India and Pakistan, India has decided to close its airspace to Pakistani airlines. This decision comes in the wake of Pakistan’s similar move against Indian airlines, following a fatal attack on tourists in Kashmir that resulted in the death of 26 individuals.

According to a report by India Today on Wednesday, the closure of airspace to Pakistani airlines is effective immediately and will remain in place until May 23. This move follows an escalation in tensions between the two nations, which have been exacerbated by recent violent events in the disputed region of Kashmir.
