Germany’s Foreign Office has extended its travel warning to cover all of Russia due to escalating drone attacks.

Germany’s Foreign Office has issued a nationwide travel warning for Russia, citing increased Ukrainian drone attacks deep within the country. Previously, the warning was limited to regions bordering Ukraine, but the latest advisory highlights a significant escalation in risks across the entire Russian territory.

The advisory warns of ‘considerable danger’ from drone strikes and falling debris, with heightened risks in major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. German citizens and dual nationals are also cautioned about potential arbitrary detentions. The warning notes disruptions to air travel, including frequent airport closures and flight cancellations, particularly in western and southern Russia. Fuel shortages and restrictions, stemming from damaged refineries, are also reported, alongside potential threats to public transportation networks such as railways.
