Russia restricts flights at Gelendzhik Airport after drone attack

Russia's aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, has imposed temporary restrictions on flight arrivals and departures at Gelendzhik Airport. The measures were introduced on September 5 to ensure flight safety. The restrictions were implemented following a drone attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces on Gelendzhik. Similar measures had previously been in effect at Sochi Airport. Passengers are advised to check flight status with airlines. No timeline has been given for lifting the restrictions, and authorities in Krasnodar Krai continue to monitor the situation. The airport is temporarily not handling flights, with further updates to be announced.
