Algeria has decided to close its airspace to all Moroccan planes, the presidency said on Wednesday, in the latest dispute between the two countries at odds mainly over Western Sahara.
"The High Security Council has decided to shut its airspace immediately to all civilian and military aircraft as well as to those registered in Morocco," said a statement.
Algeria broke off diplomatic ties with Morocco on August 24, accusing it of "hostile actions" after months of heightened tensions between the two North African countries.
