Moscow airports halt flights after security threat

noticiasdenavarra.com (Spanish) —

All four Moscow airports temporarily restricted flights on Friday due to a security threat, affecting arrivals and departures. The measure impacted Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovski, and Sheremetyevo, Russia's largest airport. Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency said restrictions were imposed to ensure flight safety, according to Tass. Airports warned passengers of possible schedule changes, with Sheremetyevo facing the most severe situation after an air attack alert forced an evacuation. Passengers were moved to safe zones and access to security areas was restricted across all terminals. The four airports gradually resumed operations throughout the day.
