A US Air Force flight bound for Antarctica returned to New Zealand after a warning about "potentially hazardous" ***** e activity, according to New Zealand authorities.
A spokesperson for New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said the agency was aware the US Air Force flight from Christchurch turned around following a warning it issued, known as a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen).
The ***** e activity was notified to the agency by Russia's State Air Traffic Management Corporation, "resulting in the issuance of a NOTAM advising pilots of the hazard," CAA said in a statement Tuesday.
In a follow-up statement Wednesday, CAA said it was made aware by the Russian air traffic agency of a planned missile launch and "associated potential hazard to international airspace, within New Zealand's Oceanic Flight Information Region (FIR)," a 30-million-square-kilometer area which is one of the largest airspaces in the world.
CNN has reached out to the US Air Force, the US Antarctic Program and the Russian State Air Traffic Management Corporation.

The saddest outcome of this was that Norway disappointed a larger fanbase than they’d ever signed up for.
England faced Norway in the quarterfinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. England had last won the World Cup in 1966, defeating West Germany, and modern English teams have struggled to find their footing in international tournaments. Norway on the other hand, came in, with their best World Cup so far, in history. The Norwegians had earlier set sky-high expectations, after sending Brazil home in the round of 16. England may have won after fighting tooth and nail for 120 minutes, but Norway takes home a larger fanbase than they ever could have imagined. Here are the observations from the game.
Do not let the result fool you. This was easily England’s toughest game in this World Cup so far.
If one had to state Haaland’s importance for Norway, it would be through this game.
He was not just performing the role of a goalscorer or a creative attacker. English defenders Marc Guéhi and John Stones were practically being dragged around by him throughout the 100 minutes he played. He occupied defenders, thus creating avenues for his teammates to run in for attacks. The midfield was constantly spotting weaknesses in England’s setup and especially the half-spaces were often identified by Norwegian wingers and capitalized upon. The Three Lions were constantly forced to keep thinking of their next best step while Norway through sheer grit, held England stretched to their limits.

While all the big-hitters around them experience a glut of goals and drama, depending on which way you glance, Spain continue their methodical and altogether stress-free path to the latter stages of the World Cup. Sure, they are lacking France’s all-out firepower. Sure, they are lacking a leading talisman in Argentina’s Lionel Messi or England’s Harry Kane. But as a cohesive unit, ticking over possession and grounding their opposition into submission, there is still no collective well-rounded team better at this World Cup 2026 than La Roja.
In Los Angeles on Thursday, they made a statement. Across the board, the Spanish had too much suave and poise for an Austrian outfit who, after their incredible stoppage-time equaliser against Algeria last Saturday, had run out of steam. For Mikel Oyarzabal, there was another World Cup brace to back up his tally against Saudi Arabia as he ruthlessly capitalised on two pinpoint crosses from Marc Cucurella. In between those goals came a first international goal for Tottenham’s Pedro Porro, who took advantage of his starting pick ahead of Marcos Llorente. A tougher test lies in wait in the last-16, mind: either Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal or Luka Modric’s Croatia in Dallas on Monday.
Records continue to tumble for Luis de la Fuente’s unrelenting outfit. They’ve now levelled the 35-game unbeaten run of the 2007-2009 golden generation and are now just two games away from the all-time international record, set by Roberto Mancini’s Italy team who won Euro 2020. For keeper Unai Simón, No 1 over ***** nal’s David Raya, a fifth consecutive World Cup clean sheet, tying Italy in 1990 and Switzerland between 2006 and 2010. And it’s the first time they’ve scored more than one goal in a knockout game since 1994, would you believe? The omens for the Spanish are tantalisingly promising.
All that was missing, in essence, was a Lamine Yamal goal. The irresistible winger, not 19 years of age for another 11 days, came close on several occasions but, unlike Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Messi and Kane out in front, a fight for the golden boot looks beyond him. Still, he looked terrific in spurts here; unequivocally the most potent attacking threat for his country.
For Spain, this was a first-ever game in California, and they could well be back in eight days, with a potential quarter-final against the USA or Belgium. Here, they were met with stiflingly dense conditions, adding to the humidity in this greenhouse-spaceship of an arena. And from De la Fuente’s team selection, a record-breaking faith in youth: in selecting Barcelona duo Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, the pair were the first teenagers to start a World Cup knockout match for 68 years, since a certain Pele and Jose Altafini for Brazil in 1958. That side, of course, won the tournament.
