Drone Strikes Disrupt Moscow’s Air Traffic Amid Rising Tensions

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Ukrainian drone attacks forced the temporary suspension of flight operations at all four international airports around Moscow. Russian authorities reported intercepting over 100 drones targeting multiple regions, including areas deep within Russian territory.

The latest developments underscore the ongoing volatility of the conflict, with both sides engaging in long-range strikes despite discussions of ceasefire proposals. As global leaders prepare to gather in Moscow for the anniversary events, the situation remains tense, with uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the war.
