Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow Evacuated After Drone Alarm

spiegel.de (German) —

Moscow's largest airport, Sheremetyevo, was evacuated and closed for hours on Friday following a drone alarm, with passengers and staff moved to safety. The airport restricted access to secure areas during the evacuation, but the alarm was later lifted and passengers began leaving shelters. Such disruptions have become frequent due to Ukrainian drone attacks, causing flights to divert or turn back. The incident is part of Ukraine's ongoing defense against Russia's invasion, which has lasted over four and a half years. Separately, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 270 prisoners of war each on Friday.
