DG ISPR has revealed that 57 civilian flights were flying through Pakistan’s airspace during the time of the recent Indian military activity. This statement highlights how risky the situation was, not just for the military, but also for ordinary people on board commercial planes.
Even though there were rising tensions and a threat of further escalation, Pakistan chose not to shut down its airspace. The DG ISPR said that this decision was made to avoid disturbing civilian travel and to keep airline operations running smoothly. By doing so, Pakistan showed maturity, restraint, and a sense of responsibility during a sensitive time.
This disclosure brings attention to how dangerous such cross-border military tensions can be for civilians. When countries engage in military actions near shared airspace, the lives of people on passenger planes can be put at risk. The fact that so many civilian flights were in the air highlights how close the situation came to endangering innocent lives.
The DG ISPR’s comments also send a clear message: rather than choosing military confrontation, countries should solve their differences through diplomatic talks. Avoiding war and choosing peace is not only the safer option for both nations but also the right one for the safety of people everywhere.
