Ukraine Warns of Risks in Russian Airspace as Airlines Suspend Flights
Ukraine is intensifying drone operations near Russian airports to disrupt commercial airspace, urging international airlines to reconsider flights over Russia due to safety concerns.

Some airlines, like Air Tanzania, have suspended flights following risk assessments. The UN's aviation body, ICAO, highlighted military technologies threatening civilian aviation safety without naming specific countries. Flight disruptions have been reported at Moscow's main airport amid these tensions.
