All four major airports serving Moscow were temporarily closed early Monday morning following a significant wave of drone activity over the Russian capital.
Authorities ordered the shutdowns of Sheremetyevo, Zhukovsky, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo between 02:39 and 05:16 local time after intercepting nearly 60 Ukrainian drones within a 90-minute window.
The coordinated air defense response disrupted commercial air traffic across the city's primary hubs, marking another escalation in Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian infrastructure.
In a separate development, a cargo vessel was struck by a Russian drone in the Black Sea, setting the ship on fire.
The incident underscores the intensifying naval conflict in the region, where both sides continue to target commercial and military shipping.
The attack adds to the growing list of maritime disruptions that have complicated logistics and insurance calculations for traders operating in the Black Sea basin.
