Pakistan extends ban on Indian flights in its airspace till August 24
No aircraft operated by Indian airlines, or military and civilian flights that are Indian-owned or leased, will be allowed to use Pakistani airspace, according to a NOTAM (notice to airmen) that came into effect at 3:50 pm India time on Friday.
The ban will remain in place till August 24 at 5:19 am (India time), the PAA said.
The Indian airspace is also closed to all Pakistani aircraft till July 24 after a ban was imposed first on April 30 as part of measures taken by the Indian government against Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22.
Pakistan shut its airspace for Indian aircraft on April 24 and the tit-for-tat restrictions by the two nations have been extended multiple times.

Indian man offered $150K job in US questions relocating solely for kids' education: ‘Is it really worth it?'
An Indian man's dilemma over whether to relocate to the United States for his children's education has sparked a thoughtful discussion on Reddit. The post, shared by the user under the title 'Is it worth relocating to USA from India?', highlights his concerns about leaving behind a settled and financially secure life in India in pursuit of potential educational opportunities for his children in the US. An Indian man on Reddit sought advice on relocating to the US for his kids' education.(Representational image/Unsplash) 'Settled in India, but is it enough?' The man, who is in his 40s, shared that he has a homemaker wife and two children currently studying in the 9th and 7th grades. He revealed that his company has offered him an internal transfer to Dallas, USA, under the L1A/EB1 visa programme with a annual salary of $150,000. However, his decision isn't driven by money. 'I am thinking to take this opportunity to give better education for my kids (not money), however I am afraid, whether it really help the kids or it will create big problem in future,' he wrote. 'I settled in India with own house without any loans. Is it really worth to relocate purely for kids education only?' Mixed reactions from Reddit users The post, shared by user @Grouchy-Leg1641, prompted several responses from fellow Redditors, many of whom offered their own perspectives and shared similar personal experiences. One Redditor empathised with his uncertainty, saying, 'You're already living a stable life. Moving now is a gamble, especially when the kids are in their teens.' Another added, 'Education might be better there, but will your kids adjust? Teenagers hate change.' One user noted, 'The exposure and opportunities in the US are unmatched. If you can afford it without stress, why not?' Another pointed out, '$150K in Dallas is a solid income. With your background and no existing loans, you'll still have stability.' Some questioned the necessity of the move altogether. 'Indian education is not bad if you guide your kids well,' one user said. Another commented, 'Moving for education is noble, but think long term—social security, healthcare, family support.'

Thailand-Cambodia tensions remind me of India-Pakistan conflict: Trump
US President Donald Trump on Saturday said the ongoing conflict between Thailand and Cambodia reminded him of the India-Pakistan dispute. He added that he was working to broker peace between the two Southeast Asian nations, which have been locked in escalating clashes since Thursday (July 24). "Many people are being killed in this War, but it very much reminds me of the Conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful halt," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said he had already spoken to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and would shortly call Thailand's acting prime minister to press for a ceasefire. 'Just spoke to the Prime Minister of Cambodia relative to stopping the War with Thailand. I am calling the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand, right now, to likewise request a Ceasefire, and END to the War, which is currently raging,' he posted. 'We happen to be, by coincidence, currently dealing on Trade with both Countries, but do not want to make any Deal, with either Country, if they are fighting — And I have told them so! The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation.' In another post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect to call back regarding War stoppage and Ceasefire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation!" Trump is currently in Scotland as part of a visit to his family-owned golf resort. Violence spreads to coastal areas Heavy fighting continued on Saturday, with explosions reported from coastal regions for the first time. This marked the third consecutive day of hostilities between the two countries. Shelling and gunfire intensified near several border villages, widening the scale of the conflict. The clashes, which began on July 24 following a landmine blast that injured five Thai soldiers, have now claimed at least 33 lives and displaced more than 168,000 people, according to an Associated Press report. Thousands displaced on both sides Cambodia's Information Minister, Neth Pheaktra, said on Saturday that 10,865 Cambodian families — about 37,635 people — in three provinces near the Thai border had been evacuated to safer areas. Meanwhile, Thai officials reported that over 131,000 residents had been forced to flee their homes due to the fighting. Cambodia appeals at UN for peace At an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting in New York on Friday, Cambodia's ambassador to the UN, Chhea Keo, called for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. 'Cambodia asked for an immediate ceasefire – unconditionally – and we also call for the peaceful solution of the dispute,' he told reporters after the meeting. MEA response In its reaction to the conflict, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) advised Indian travellers in the region to contact the respective embassies in the two countries for any assistance. "We are closely monitoring the situation along the border between Cambodia and Thailand," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
