New Delhi, Mar 8 (IBNS): Amid tension between India and Pakistan, the Indian Air Force on Thursday said it was in a “high state of preparedness” to pro-actively engage any perceived threat from the nuclear-armed neighbouring nation.
Citing a document of Pakistan’s civil aviation authority, the IAF said the neighbouring country has opened its airspace with Oman, Iran, Afghanistan and China only and the 11 entry and exit points located along the India-Pakistan airspace were still closed, reported The Indian Express.
“The Indian Air Force is in a high state of preparedness, to pro-actively engage any perceived threat in the present security scenario,” the IAF said in a statement as reported by the newspaper.
As per the newspaper officials said all the frontline IAF bases along India’s western border have been kept on maximum alert.
