Mass drone attack closes airspace over much of European Russia to civil aviation
A large-scale drone attack has created a de facto no-fly zone for civil aviation over central and western Russia. All four Moscow airports have fully suspended operations.
A large-scale attack by unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) has effectively created a zone closed to civil aviation over central and western Russia, according to the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda.
All four airports serving Moscow have completely halted operations. The restrictions therefore affect one of Russia's largest air traffic hubs as well as a broad swath of the European part of the country.
The source does not say how many drones were involved, which specific regions were affected, or how long the restrictions may last. The report comes against the backdrop of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
