Russia temporarily shuttered all four major Moscow airports early on Friday morning following an alleged drone strike on the capital city, its civil aviation authority said.
Seven flights were diverted because of the closures of Moscow’s Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky airports, according to Rosaviatsiya, the aviation authority. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Friday that Russian air defenses shot down a drone over the capital city overnight. He said in a post on Telegram that debris from the drone fell into Expocentre, an exhibition center that lies within the wider Moscow city center, about three miles east of the Kremlin.
Earlier this week, Ukrainian security services released to CNN exclusive footage showing the moment in July when they used an experimental sea drone to attack Russia’s bridge to annexed Crimea, providing new details on the attack and warning more such assaults will follow. Last month, Kyiv said Ukrainian forces carried out a drone strike in Moscow and warned more strikes were to come.
