Moscow-area airports suspend flights after drone attack

gazeta.ru (Russian) —

Three Moscow-area airports, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky, have temporarily suspended flight arrivals and departures. The measure was introduced to ensure flight safety, according to a Rosaviatsia representative. The suspension follows a mass Ukrainian drone attack on Russian regions overnight. Over 50 drones were downed over the Rostov region, where one person was injured. More than 400 flights were canceled or delayed in the Moscow region during the night. Earlier, all Moscow airports were closed due to the drone raid, leading to footage of passengers sleeping on floors. A Gazeta.Ru correspondent previously described surviving on a plane during the "Kover" emergency plan.
