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 90-minute window, disrupting air traffic across the city's primary aviation hubs.
The incident marks a notable escalation in the frequency and scale of attacks targeting Moscow's critical infrastructure.
While the airports have since reopened, the brief closure highlights the persistent vulnerability of the capital's transport network to aerial threats.
The disruption affected both domestic and international flights, forcing airlines to reroute or delay departures during the peak morning travel period.
This development follows a recent pattern of intensified drone strikes by Ukraine, including a claimed attack on an oil refinery in Moscow.
