Moscow's Domodedovo Airport Temporarily Suspends Operations

On Wednesday, Russian air defense forces shot down over 230 Ukrainian drones throughout western parts of Russia, including areas near Moscow, leading to the temporary suspension of flights at three major airports in the capital.
The suspension aimed to ensure flight safety as some drones approached Moscow, which houses 21 million residents, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports halted all flights while Sheremetyevo suspended arrivals, with airspace restrictions lifted in under an hour after all three drones were downed.
Russia's Defence Ministry reported destroying 159 drones overnight and intercepting 39 more across six regions and Crimea on Wednesday morning, while emergency services worked at crash sites with no casualties reported.
The event highlights ongoing drone warfare dynamics near Moscow and the intensified Russian defensive measures to protect airspace amid the wider conflict in Ukraine.
