India, May 8 -- As a security move following India's 'Operation Sindoor', 27 airports across India have been closed for commercial flights until Saturday morning. The announcement came soon after India struck nine terror camps in Pakistan in the early hours of Wednesday.

The action has disrupted air travel across the region, with hundreds of flights cancelled and major airspace corridors shut down.

The closures began shortly after the strikes, which occurred at approximately 1.30 am on Wednesday. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) issued two NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) - the first in the early morning affecting 18 airports, followed by a second at 3.20 pm extending the shutdown to nine additional airports.
