Moscow: Kamikaze drones attacked Vnukovo Airport
Landings and take-offs were temporarily restricted
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said another drone strike had taken place against the Russian capital and the region, temporarily disrupting traffic at Vnukovo Airport, Reuters reports. A number of flights have been diverted to other airports.
„At the moment, the attacks have been stopped by the air defense forces. All detected drones have been eliminated,“ Sobyanin said on his Telegram channel, Nova TV reported.
There were no reports of casualties or injuries, Sobyanin added.
Vnukovo’s landings and takeoffs were temporarily restricted „for technical reasons beyond the airport’s control,“ the Federal Air Transport Agency of Russia (Rosaviatsia) announced. The restrictions remained in place until 8 a.m. local time (0500 GMT), the agency said. Normal operation of the airport has since been restored.
„Rosaviatsia“ announced that the rest of Moscow’s airports are also working.
There is no official position from Ukraine for now.
