On February 7, 2025, Murmansk Airport temporarily stopped accepting and sending flights. The restrictions were introduced to ensure the safety of civil aircraft flights. Aircraft crews, air traffic controllers and airport services are taking all necessary measures to ensure safety.

This is not the first time that restrictions have been imposed on Russian airports due to the threat of drone attacks. Earlier, on January 29, 2025, temporary restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft were introduced at three Moscow airports - Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky. The restrictions were in effect from 00:22 to 02:12 Moscow time. During their period, six aircraft were redirected to alternate airfields.

In addition, on January 14, 2025, the airports of Kazan, Kaluga, Tambov and Saratov suspended the reception and dispatch of flights. In the Saratov region, a threat of a drone attack was previously announced, as a result of which an industrial enterprise in Engels was damaged.

There are no details at this time.
