    What's the story

    The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Thursday said it was in a "high state of preparedness" for engaging proactively with any kind of perceived threat from Pakistan.

    The IAF issued the statement, indicating that the tension between both the countries "still prevails".

    This comes after Pakistan kept airspace over the India-Pakistan border shut while opening its airspace for several other countries.

    Here's more.

    Information

    Pakistan opened its airspace only with four countries

    Citing a document of Pakistani civil aviation authority, the IAF said that Pakistan has opened its airspace only with four countries - Oman, Iran, Afghanistan, and China. However, 11 entry and exit points along the India-Pakistan airspace remained shut.

    Tensions between India, Pakistan escalated after Pulwama attack, Balakot airstrikes

    Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed carried out the deadly Pulwama attack in J&K, killing 40 CRPF personnel, following which the Indian Air Force bombed the terror outfit's biggest training camp near Balakot in Pakistan on 26 February.

    Pakistan, however, retaliated to the Balakot airstrikes by violating Indian airspace to target military installations on 27 February; however, IAF foiled Pakistan's plans.
