SriLankan Airlines has suspended all flights between Colombo and Lahore, Pakistan, citing safety concerns following a series of explosions near Lahore’s Walton Airport. The airline confirmed that services to Karachi remain unaffected at this time.
The suspension comes amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. On Wednesday, India launched “Operation Sindoor,” conducting missile and drone strikes on multiple sites in Pakistan, targeting what it described as terrorist infrastructure. The strikes were in retaliation for a deadly attack in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, which killed 26 people, mostly Hindu tourists. Pakistan has denied involvement in the Kashmir attack and vowed to respond to India’s military actions.
