Pakistan Extends Airspace Closure Amid Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos Against India

The Pakistan Airports Authority announced on May 10, 2025, that Pakistan’s airspace will remain closed to all flights until 12 noon on May 11, 2025, extending an initial closure due to escalating tensions with India.

The decision follows Pakistan’s launch of Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos, a retaliatory military operation targeting seven Indian military sites after Indian missile strikes on Pakistani air bases.

The airspace closure, initially set to end on May 10, was extended to prioritise national security amid the ongoing conflict. The closure disrupts commercial and international flights, reflecting the severity of the situation as Pakistan responds to Indian aggression.

The operation, named Bunyaan al Marsoos, meaning “a structure firmly joined together” from Surah Al-Saff (61:4) in the Quran, symbolises Pakistan’s unified defence strategy.

Pakistan’s airspace is closed until May 11, 2025, following Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos, which targeted seven Indian military sites.

Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos

Launched on Saturday, May 10, Operation Bunyaan al Marsoos struck key Indian installations, including Pathankot, Udhampur, Gujarat, and Rajasthan air bases, and a BrahMos missile storage site, according to security sources.

The operation retaliated against India’s Friday, May 9, missile strikes on three Pakistan Air Force (PAF) bases, Nur Khan (Rawalpindi), Murid (Chakwal), and Shorkot, which caused no damage to PAF assets, as confirmed by Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.

Chaudhry warned of a “befitting response,” stating, “By the grace of Allah Almighty, all PAF assets are safe.” He accused India of pushing regional destabilisation, noting its missile and drone attacks in Afghanistan. The conflict, intensified by India’s Operation Sindoor and the April 22 Pahalgam attack accusations, has escalated with daily clashes, prompting global calls for de-escalation from the U.S. and the G7.
