Indian authorities issued a new Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) for an Indian Air Force exercise at the northern borders during the reporting window from 5:45:19 PM to 6:45:19 PM UTC on February 28, 2026, according to an X post by user @Mrcool63040811 (https://x.com/Mrcool63040811/status/2027792566452920342). The NOTAM alerts aviation stakeholders to the military exercise in the northern border region, as reported in the post within the past hour. No additional details on the exercise duration, specific locations, or participating units were provided in the source. This development follows External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar's conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar earlier at approximately 4:15-5:15 PM UTC, where Jaishankar reiterated India's call for de-escalation in West Asia, and the Ministry of External Affairs' statement at 2:45 PM UTC on the region's evolving situation, as previously reported.
