Moscow airports were back in operation on Sunday evening after suspensions imposed by aviation regulator Rosaviatsia over drone attacks which the city’s mayor said had been repelled.
Rosaviatsia said all major Moscow airports were open for arrivals and departures, subject to consultation with authorities.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, in a succession of posts on Telegram, said 24 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed or intercepted en route to Moscow from about 3 p.m.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defense units had intercepted or destroyed 130 Ukrainian drones over a four-hour period ending at 8 p.m., including Moscow and the surrounding region and other central Russian regions.
