Three airports around Moscow have been closed by Russia’s aviation authority following drone attacks from Ukraine.
Moscow’s Domodedovo, Zhukovsky and Vnukovo airports resumed normal operations after flights were suspended on Tuesday to ensure safety after drone attacks, Russia’s aviation authority Rosaviatsia said on the Telegram messaging app.
Russian air defenses shot down 144 Ukrainian drones overnight, the defense ministry said Tuesday, including 20 over the capital Moscow.
In a statement, the ministry said it had intercepted “72 UAVs over Bryansk region, 20 over Moscow region, 14 over Kursk region, 13 over Tula region”, and 25 more over five other parts of the country.
