Aviation authorities restrict Ukraine airspace
CNN
Ukraine's aviation authorities have issued a notice restricting the country's airspace starting early Thursday morning and lasting until midnight GMT (7 p.m. ET).
The alert, known as a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), covers all five of the country's flight information regions (FIRS) — restricting aviation in the regions around around Kyiv, Dnipro, Lviv, Odessa and Simferopol.
The flight tracking service FlightRadar24 shows a flight from Warsaw to Kyiv, Lot 755, turned around before entering Ukrainian airspace and is returning to the Polish capital.
The website shows no civil aircraft in Ukrainian airspace.
