>Russia has warned ships and aircraft to avoid large areas of the Barents Sea in the Arctic, designating them as 'impact areas for Russian missiles' ahead of a planned space launch. The exclusion zones lie off northern Norway, close to NATO territory, and will remain restricted until April 30 in an unusually long safety notice for the region. Despite the alarming wording, the 'missile' reference is apparently Russian terminology for rocket launches, where discarded parts of a space rocket are formally classified as falling 'missile elements.' In this case, the warning relates to a Soyuz-2-1b launch from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, likely around April 23.
