Pak issues NOTAM, puts forces on alert

Pakistan has issued a notice to airmen (NOTAM) and placed its armed forces on high alert after the deadly car explosion near the Red Fort on Monday that killed several people.

NOTAM, effective from November 11 to 12, imposes restrictions on air traffic and signals a significant rise in security preparedness. Officials in Islamabad have also declared a “red alert” across all airbases and airfields after intelligence warnings suggested the possibility of retaliatory action or cross-border tension with India.

As per sources, Pakistan’s air defence systems have been activated and are closely monitoring the airspace along the Indian border.

“The country’s army, navy, and air force have been directed to remain in full readiness, with the central command ordering all military branches to track developments and prepare for any contingency,” according to reports.
