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 strikes, which marked the second consecutive night of aerial assaults on Moscow, also led to disruptions at nine additional regional airports. The timing of the attacks is particularly significant, as they come just days before Russia’s planned Victory Day celebrations, commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
