Indian Navy starts massive naval exercise near Arabian Sea, Pakistan should be worried because...
Indian Navy ship- File image Indian Navy vs Pakistan Navy: In a massive development after India conducted Operation Sindoor against Pakistan sponsored terrorists, the navies of India and Pakistan will be facing each other in the Arabian Sea as they will be carrying out separate drills at the same time. As per a report carried by ANI news agency, both India and Pakistan have issued Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) for carrying out drills in the Arabian Sea in their respective territorial areas. 'Indian Navy warships would be carrying out drills in the Arabian Sea on August 11-12. Pakistan Navy has also issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for carrying out its own naval exercises in its waters,' the ANI report quoted Indian Navy sources as saying. Why has Indian Navy issued NOTAM? For a basic understanding, a NOTAM is issued by a Navy when air traffic movement is restricted for a certain period of time. Notably, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 as a decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. The Indian Armed Forces targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, leading to the death of over 100 terrorists. The report also said that India repelled the subsequent Pakistani retaliation and pounded its airbases. India has said that cessation of hostilities came after Pakistan's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) called up his Indian counterpart, and there was no third-party mediation. INS Tamal concludes port visit to Casablanca In another significant development, the Indian Navy's newest stealth frigate, INS Tamal, has concluded a three-day port visit to Morocco's Casablanca, during her return passage from Russia to India. During the port call from August 6-9, the ship participated in several activities focused on furthering cooperation and collaboration between the navies of India and Morocco.

5 Unauthorised Flights Reported Near Trump Property Over Weekend
A civilian aircraft was intercepted by fighter jets on Sunday afternoon after it entered restricted airspace near Donald Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The incident occurred around 12:50 pm local time, according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The jets used flares to alert the pilot before escorting the aircraft out of the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone. It was the second airspace violation of the day, with five such incursions reported over the weekend. Fighter jets fire final warning flares at FIFTH plane heading for Trump All 5 innocent mistakes? — RT (@RT_com) August 4, 2025 The flares, which may have been visible to the public, are "employed with the highest regard for the safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground," NORAD said. The flares burn out quickly and do not pose a danger to those on the ground. For the 2nd time this weekend, @NORADCommand fighters intercepted an aircraft violating restricted airspace over Bedminster, NJ. Flares were deployed during this intercept. Pilots: check NOTAMS before every flight! @flywithaopa — 1st AF/America's AOC (@1stAF) August 3, 2025 Authorities are reminding general aviation pilots to check all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) before flying. For flights near Bedminster, pilots should review NOTAMs 9839, 9840, 9841, and 9842. "General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Fly Informed before every flight," NORAD advised. Trump was reportedly out of town at the time of the incident and expected to return to the White House later that day, as per Fox News. NORAD said it uses a network of radars, satellites, and fighter aircraft to identify and respond to potential threats in US and Canadian airspace. This event follows a series of similar airspace breaches earlier this year. In March, three civilian aircraft violated restricted airspace over Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, which led NORAD to deploy F-16 fighter jets. Flares were again used to alert the pilots, and each aircraft was safely guided out of the area. In mid-February, airspace violations were also reported near Mar-a-Lago on Presidents Day (February 17), February 15, and in nearby Wellington on February 18.

India extends airspace ban on Pakistani airlines, military aircraft
NEW DELHI: The Indian government has extended the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) for Pakistani flights until Aug 23, officials said Wednesday (July 23). The information was shared by Murlidhar Mohol, India's federal junior minister for civil aviation, through a social media post. "Update on Airspace Restriction. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restricting Pakistani aircraft from entering Indian airspace has been officially extended until 23rd August 2025," Mohol wrote on social media. According to the minister, the extension reflects continued strategic considerations and is in line with prevailing security protocols. New Delhi's action came days after Pakistan decided to extend the closure of its airspace for flights operated by Indian airlines by another month, until August 24. The previous NOTAM will expire on Thursday. Earlier on June 24, the ministry had announced a month-long extension of the NOTAM restricting Pakistani aircraft from coming into India. The first NOTAM by India was in force from May 1 to May 23. As per NOTAM issued by the federal ministry of civil aviation, no aircraft registered in Pakistan, and operated, owned or leased by Pakistani airlines or operators will be allowed to enter the Indian airspace. The airspace ban also applies to Pakistani military aircraft as per the NOTAM. NOTAMs on both sides were issued amid diplomatic tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad in April this year over the attack in which 26 people were killed by gunmen at Baisaran area of Pahalgam town, about 89 km east of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir. - Xinhua

Orders to shift Lashkar headquarters, air space closed..., why is Pakistan afraid of airstrike by India after...
New Delhi: After the US ban on TRF, the front of Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan is again afraid of India's airstrikes. This is because Pakistan has issued Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) in its airspace for a whole week. Why did Pakistan shut down its airspace? According to the information, the airspace in the central sector of Pakistan will be completely closed from 16-23 July. At the same time, the airspace of southern Pakistan will remain closed on 22-23 July. In this regard, Pakistan has issued NOTAM i.e. Notice to Airmen. Only last week, Chinese cargo planes were seen in Pakistan. In such a situation, it is believed that China has supplied new weapons and air defense systems to Pakistan because, during Operation Sindoor (6-10 May), India destroyed Pakistan's terrorist bases and airbases as well as destroyed radars and air defense systems on a large scale. What instructions are given to Lashkar-e-Taiba? Meanwhile, it is reported that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI has instructed Lashkar-e-Taiba to shift its headquarters from Muridke to Bahawalpur. Lashkar's headquarters have been in Muridke in Pakistan's Punjab province since the end of the Soviet Afghan war in Afghanistan in the late 80s. According to ABP News, such posters have been spotted in Bahawalpur which prove that Lashkar is now active in Muridke. During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force carried out missile strikes in Muridke and Bahawalpur. India's BrahMos missile caused massive damage to both Bahawalpur and Muridke. ISI's field office was also exposed inside Lashkar's headquarters in Muridke. What is the reason behind shifting Lashkar's headquarters? This decision has been taken with the intention of intensifying anti-India activities after the killing of Jaish and Lashkar terrorists in Operation Sindoor. According to sources, one reason behind shifting Lashkar's headquarters from Muridke could be to show the whole world, including America, that Lashkar has been destroyed. It is quite possible that Lashkar may be given a new name. ISI has done this before as well. After the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, when Lashkar was declared a global terrorist organization and banned by America and UN, its name was changed to Jamaat-ud-Dawa. Reportedly, the ISI gave Lashkar a new name, The Resistance Front (TRF) to carry out terrorist activities in Kashmir.
