A plane carrying Russian tourists has been diverted to Tallinn due to the closure of Pulkovo airport, hit by Ukrainian drone attacks.

The Estonian publication Postimees reported that a plane full of Russian tourists, operated by AlMarsia Universal Airlines, was forced to make an emergency landing in Tallinn because St Petersburg's Pulkovo airport in St Petersburg was closed after a Ukrainian drone attack. The passengers, who were not allowed to leave the aircraft for five and a half hours, later departed for their original destination. Estonia, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, had a similar situation in February when another Russian flight was diverted to Poland.
