(Reuters) – India shut its airspace to Pakistani airlines on Wednesday, the government said, days after its nuclear-armed neighbor banned Indian airlines from flying over its territory following the killing of 26 men in an attack on tourists in Kashmir.

The ban on Pakistani aircraft will be from April 30 to May 23, according to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the Indian government.
