Moscow reports drone attack, airports restrict flights

Moscow authorities reported a drone attack on the Russian capital and its suburbs, leading to temporary restrictions at major airports. Two flights from Turkey were diverted due to limitations at Vnukovo airport. Russian aviation agency Rosaviatsia imposed restrictions on arrivals and departures at Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky airports. Restrictions at Zhukovsky were lifted after an hour, while the other two airports continued operating with special approval. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed 72 drones were shot down, later adding 24 more. The drone alert was declared around 22:00 local time. According to the Astra Telegram channel, three explosions occurred near Naro-Fominsk, about 56 kilometers from Moscow, with additional blasts heard toward the Kaluga region. This month, Moscow has reported drone attacks on two consecutive nights previously.
