BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Brunei's Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) announced that areas within three nautical miles (5.56 kilometres) radius of specific locations in the country are declared temporary restricted airspace, local media reported on Saturday.

The areas include Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien, a renowned park in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the country, on July 29 and Aug. 4, and Padang Bandaran, Jalan Sultan in Kuala Belait located in western Brunei, on July 30, the DCA was quoted by local daily Borneo Bulletin as saying.
