Russia temporarily shuttered all four major Moscow airports early on Friday morning following an alleged drone strike on the capital city, its civil aviation authority said.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Friday that Russian air defenses shot down a drone over the capital city overnight.
“The UAV, after being hit by air defense systems, changed its flight trajectory and fell on a non-residential building near Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment in Moscow.”
At that time, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said “Ukraine is getting stronger, and the war is gradually returning to Russia’s territory, to its symbolic centers and military bases.”
Moscow has several other, smaller and military airports, but the seven affected flights were redirected to Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and to Minsk in Belarus, Rosaviatsiya said.
Air traffic to Russia collapsed following Moscow’s decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
