Air traffic at 13 airports in southern Russia is on hold following a drone attack on a building at a local air navigation center in Rostov-on-Don, according to the Russian transport ministry.

The incident caused flights to be halted in and out of airports in Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Volgograd, Gelendzhik, Grozny, Krasnodar, Makhachkala, Magas, Mineralnye Vody, Nalchik, Sochi, Stavropol, and Elista.

The ministry shared on its official Telegram channel: “The regional air traffic control center in Rostov-on-Don, overseeing air operations in southern Russia, has been temporarily adjusted due to the Ukrainian drone strike … personnel are safe, and the equipment is under assessment” to identify potential restoration.
