All four airports serving Moscow were temporarily closed on Monday morning after dozens of Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the city.
The shutdowns disrupted air traffic across the capital's primary hubs, including Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky, as authorities scrambled to secure airspace following the attack.
The incident marks a significant escalation in the scope of Ukrainian strikes on the Russian capital.
While previous operations have targeted military and industrial sites, the disruption of civilian aviation infrastructure underscores the expanding reach of drone campaigns into the heart of Moscow.
The closures were lifted after the immediate threat was neutralized, but the event highlights the persistent vulnerability of key logistical nodes.
This development follows a series of intensified attacks on Russian energy and power infrastructure.
