Russia’s Federal Agency for Air Transport (Rosaviatsiya) has extended restrictions on flights to 11 airports in the southern and central part of the country until November 21, the agency’s press service said.

"Temporary flight restrictions to 11 airports in southern and central Russia have been extended until November 21, 2022," the statement said, according to TASS.

Flights to airports in Anapa, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar, Kursk, Lipetsk, Rostov-on-Don, Simferopol and Elista are temporarily restricted.

Russia closed part of its airspace in the south and central part of the country to civilian aircraft on February 24, 2022, amid the "special military operation" in Ukraine.
