Indian Air Force issues NOTAM for military exercise near India-Pakistan border from March 5–12

Key Highlights

• The temporary airspace restriction is part of a planned military drill, according to official aviation notifications.
• NOTAMs are routinely issued ahead of air force exercises to ensure civilian aircraft avoid designated operational zones and maintain flight safety.
• However, the latest reservation near the Rajasthan-Sindh sector has reportedly drawn attention across the border, reported CNN-News18.
• Security sources indicated that the development has prompted increased monitoring by Pakistan’s defence establishment.
• Islamabad is currently managing border deployments along Afghanistan and Iran, while also maintaining naval vigilance in the Arabian Sea amid ongoing regional instability.
