Temporary Suspension of Moscow Airports Operations and Interception of Drones Targeting the Russian Capital

dijlahpoint - The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency announced the temporary suspension of operations at the capital's four Moscow airports as a precautionary measure to secure civil aviation traffic and passenger safety amid field security developments.



In the same context, local authorities in Moscow confirmed the interception and downing of a number of drones that were targeting the capital's airspace, without recording severe human or material losses.



These measures come amidst the continuation of reciprocal attacks and escalating security tension between Russia and Ukraine, prompting competent authorities to tighten defensive measures in vital areas.
