According to PTV News, jet fuel supply was affected at Quetta Airport on Youm-e-Ashur.

A limit of twenty thousand litres of jet fuel was imposed for aircraft getting refueled at Quetta Airport due to fuel shortage at the airport.

PIA spokesperson says its flights operations were not affected and airline's aircraft flying to Quetta carried fuel for return flight.

The supply will return to normalcy by tonight at Quetta Airport.

Probably jet fuel tankers were not able to reach Quetta Airport due to security measures related to Youm-e-Ashur?
