Temporary travel restriction

Residents of the Tyumen Region have been warned about a rocket launch whose separating stages may fall within the territory of the Uvat Municipal District. This was reported by the local administration in its community on VKontakte (the post is quoted by Gazeta.Ru). According to the administration, the launch is scheduled for the period from November 3 to November 8, and the drop zone for the separating stages —

What residents are asked to do

During the launch period, the district administration asks citizens to refrain from traveling to this area. The warning applies primarily to those planning to go into the forest, hunting, or elsewhere outside populated areas. The authorities recommend taking the temporary restriction seriously and not risking their safety.

The practical meaning of the warning

The restriction is not in effect for a single day but throughout the entire six-day launch window — from November 3 to November 8, so the exact launch day is not announced to residents in advance. In practical terms, this means that anyone planning to travel to the eastern part of the Uvat District on these dates should either postpone the trip or wait for an official announcement that the launch has been completed. The drop zone is designated as uninhabited, but it is used for hunting trips and other activities outside populated areas — it is precisely this category of residents that the warning is aimed at.
