Top Indian airlines Air India and IndiGo are bracing for higher fuel costs and longer journey times as they reroute international flights after Pakistan shut its airspace to them amid escalating tensions over a deadly militant attack in Kashmir.

The Pakistani army opened fire at multiple locations along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday. The Indian Army immediately retaliated, effectively countering the attack.

Since April 15, 2023, Sudan’s army has been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces throughout the northeast African country.
