Pakistan’s military and civil aviation is often affected by various disasters, which often crash planes and helicopters.
2016 A Pakistan International Airlines plane caught fire in the air and crashed as it flew north from the country to the capital Islamabad. More than 40 people died in that disaster.
Today, many Pakistanis across the country are preparing to celebrate the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the Muslim holidays, during which the country’s residents will return to their towns and villages.
