India has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to reserve airspace for the Indian Air Force (IAF) maneuvers near the southern sector of its border with Pakistan from March 5 to 12. In response, neighboring Pakistan has increased its vigilance along the border.
Pakistan on alert in light of the exercise
It is reported that Pakistan has become alert in light of this exercise by the Indian Air Force. The Pakistan Army and Air Force are on high alert.
