Finland closes its airspace in the southeast due to the Ukrainian attack on a Russian port

Finland's Defense Forces temporarily closed air and maritime traffic in the southeast due to a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Ust-Luga oil port. This precautionary measure aimed to ensure civilian safety and counter potential drone threats. The closure lasted over five hours and was the second such incident in less than a month. The attack caused a fire at the oil terminal and led to the temporary shutdown of Pulkovo International Airport in St. Petersburg, diverting flights from Turkey and Egypt to Helsinki. Finland has faced multiple airspace restrictions due to frequent Ukrainian drone strikes targeting Russian sites in the region.
