This is impossible to answer, but there are some points to consider and point out is that during times of conflict nations work to deconflict airspace for safe commercial and civilian flights, failure to do this would result in ZERO flights in the region.

As of March 2026 there were two safe routes from South Asia > ME / West Asia:


The flight was operating in a safe deconflicted flight corridor as can be see in this second chat:

It is also worth noting that that entire region is a hub of radar activity, any possible projectile launch would have been picked up on the plethora of radars currently monitoring the skies.

Now if you also consider the GPS jamming active in the region at the time, see chart 3 I have prepared:


It is difficult to say if it was accidental, malicious or as a result of a erroneous strike, if it were a strike it would have garnered far more public attention. On average there are 100 non-stop flights daily from the Middle East to Pakistan and vice versa, with a weekly volume of 700+ flights with the busiest route being Karachi to Dubai which has 9 flights per day - approx 57 flights per week.

Intl operators would not expose their business or passengers to risks where the plane can be blown out of the sky. It would ruin businesses; we all remember Malaysian Airlines Flight 17.

This is why deconflicting airspace is so important, and it is important to hold off on any scuttlebutt about missiles and done strikes until an official investigation has concluded.
