A rare moment of aerial tension was captured when a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilot recorded Iranian missiles flying through Saudi airspace late last night. The footage, taken from the cockpit of a Jeddah-to-Pakistan flight, clearly showed multiple projectiles streaking across the sky near Dammam, heading westward in what appeared to be a direct path toward Israel.
According to sources within the airline, the pilot and crew remained calm during the incident and followed all standard aviation safety protocols. The plane was at cruising altitude and not in immediate danger, but the event left a deep impression on those aboard. The Iranian missiles were reportedly visible for several seconds before disappearing over the horizon.
This striking event occurred amid ongoing regional conflict, as Iran reportedly launched a wave of ballistic missiles targeting strategic sites within Israel. Early morning reports from international media, including The Guardian and CNN, confirmed that some of the Iranian missiles managed to breach Israel’s advanced air defenses. Several areas in northern and central Israel were impacted, causing damage to infrastructure and injuries to civilians. Israel’s Iron Dome and other defense systems intercepted many incoming threats, but the scale and precision of this latest barrage have raised concerns globally.
The video captured by the PIA crew quickly gained traction on social media and will be embedded in this article for context and relatability. Aviation experts note that it is extremely rare for civilian aircraft to witness active ballistic missile movement, especially in such proximity.
This latest development highlights the growing regional volatility, where even commercial flights are not immune to witnessing the consequences of escalating geopolitical tensions. As the situation between Iran and Israel continues to evolve, the international community watches closely—hoping for de-escalation and the protection of civilian lives and airspace.
