Russia-Ukraine war at a glance
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Tuesday that Ukraine launched another drone attack on the Russian capital and its region, temporarily disrupting flight operations at the Vnukovo airport.
“At this moment, the attacks have been repelled by air defence forces,” Sobyanin said on Telegram.
“All detected drones have been eliminated.”
There were no casualties or injured reported, Sobyanin added.
Landings and takeoffs at Moscow’s Vnukovo airport were restricted this morning “for technical reasons beyond the control of the airport,” Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency, or Rosaviatsiya, says on Telegram.
Restrictions were in place until 8am local time (0500 GMT), the agency said. (It has just gone past 8am local time).
