All four Moscow airports suspended operations on Thursday evening, November 12, due to a massive drone attack, according to Russia's aviation agency Rosaviatsia. The airports Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, and Zhukovsky were operating under temporary airspace restrictions. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed Russian air defense shot down over 100 drones heading toward the capital. This incident follows previous drone-related disruptions, including a fire near Sheremetyevo on October 31 and over 370 flight cancellations or delays on October 30, when Sobyanin reported an attack involving more than 800 drones.
