Ukraine said early on Thursday it had closed its airspace to civilian flights because of a "high risk" to safety, hours after a conflict zone monitor warned airlines should stop overflights over the risk of an unintended shootdown or cyber attack.
Report informs, citing Reuters, that Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized a military operation in eastern Ukraine on Thursday.
"The provision of air traffic services to civilian users of the airspace of Ukraine is suspended," Ukrainian State Air Traffic Services Enterprise said on its website.
"We will additionally inform about changes in the use of Ukraine's airspace," the agency added, without providing further details.
