Russia temporarily restricted operations at 27 of its airports during a massive drone attack. The report comes from Euromaidan Press, a Ukrainian outlet, which links the events to a warning from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Russian airspace is becoming dangerous.

Russia later lifted the restrictions. Even so, flight disruptions continued at Russian airports as they resumed arrivals and departures.

The source gives no further details, such as which airports were affected, how long the restrictions lasted or how large the drone attack was, so that information is not available at this time.
