Moscow airports suspend flights for second time in two days as drone hits building under construction in city centre
“Window openings were knocked out in the building. The survey continues”, Tass news agency reported, citing emergency services.Major airports around the Russian capital have repeatedly closed down in recent days due to Ukrainian drone attacks.
Wednesday’s drone strike was the latest in a series of attacks on the Russian capital. A building in the central district was hit by a Ukrainian drone early on Saturday. On 19 August, a drone appears to have destroyed a supersonic Russian bomber at its Soltsy-2 airbase, British military intelligence said, the latest in a string of successful assaults on prestige infrastructure and military hardware.
Flights at several Moscow airports were also temporarily suspended on Tuesday as a security precaution amid drone attacks, authorities said. Two other drones were jammed and crashed in the Bryansk region, the Russian defence ministry said.
