Moscow Temporarily Closes Airports as Ukraine Targets Russia with Drones

On June 8, 2025, Ukraine launched a drone strike targeting Moscow that temporarily closed two major airports and a nearby third airport.
The strike followed increased attacks in recent weeks as Russia and Ukraine exchanged drone strikes amid stalled peace talks.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced it intercepted and shot down 61 Ukrainian drones across several areas including Moscow and Tula, where one drone struck the Azot chemical facility, triggering a fire that resulted in two injuries.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that responders were sent to investigate areas where fragments from downed drones landed during the night, while Rosaviatsia suspended flights at Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports as a precaution to maintain aviation safety.
The drone strike's impact on key military-industrial facilities and the airport closures suggest ongoing escalation despite efforts to resume peace negotiations.
