All four airports serving Moscow were temporarily closed early Monday morning following a significant wave of drone activity over the Russian capital.
Authorities ordered the shutdowns after intercepting nearly 60 Ukrainian drones within a span of approximately one and a half hours.
The incident disrupted air traffic across the city's primary aviation hubs, forcing a brief halt to operations as security protocols were enacted.
The attack highlights the continued vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the Russian capital to long-range drone strikes.
While the airports have since resumed operations, the incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing security challenges in the region.
The scale of the drone wave, with nearly 60 units intercepted in a short period, indicates a coordinated effort to test air defenses and disrupt civilian logistics.
