BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Security-centric framing: emphasis falls on the gap in air traffic control rather than on the human toll or material damage.

Limited bilateral context: the strategic proximity between Pakistan and China through CPEC is not invoked to interpret the event.

Dependence on third-party agencies: the reported facts derive largely from Reuters and Anadolu Agency, without distinctly Pakistani analysis.
