Russian airport-restriction cross-check (unofficial, approximate) Airport restriction reported Gelendzhik / Sochi / Krasnodar airports
Incident time 06/04/2026, 3:00:00 GMT+3 (approximate)
Match confidence moderate Closures were reported for the wider south-Russia aviation hub around the time of the Novorossiysk/Sheskharis strike; Novorossiysk itself has no commercial airport, so this is regional rather than airport-level.
Unlike the Ukrainian air-alert cross-check, Russia has no public, timestamped, settlement-level alert dataset to match against. This reflects Rosaviatsia airport-closure NOTAMs or wire-reported regional notices instead, which are coarser and do not independently prove the weapon, target or attribution.

This links to GPSJam's dated public map centered on the incident area rather than a quantified reading: GPSJam renders its hexagon interference levels client-side from ADS-B Exchange aircraft data, and this project has no way to programmatically extract a specific percentage or color for that date/region, so no interference level is asserted here. GPSJam's own methodology also aggregates 24 hours per hexagon from aircraft-altitude data (not ground level) and can have data gaps, so even a visual reading would only be suggestive context, not proof of jamming tied to this specific strike.
This is a link to an external, independently-run map, not a claim made by this project about interference levels on this date.
