The government has decided to ban travel to all parts of Russia's Kursk province, where the war is raging.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it will issue a "travel warning level 4," which is equivalent to a travel ban, from midnight on the 22nd for the Russian state of Kursk, where the fighting between Ukrainian and Russian and North Korean forces is in full swing.
Earlier, only some areas of the Kursk region, along with four other states bordering Ukraine and Russia, had a travel warning level 4, but the adjustment banned travel throughout the state of Kursk.
In some areas near the border with Ukraine, other than the four-level areas, such as the North Kafkaz area, the third level of travel warning recommending departure is being issued.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged citizens who planned to travel to Kursk province, which has been designated a no-travel zone, to cancel the adjustment.
In addition, if you visit or stay in an area where travel warnings are issued in level 4, you can be punished under relevant regulations such as the Passport Act.
