Moscow Airports Resume Operations After Weekend Drone Attacks, Ukraine Reports Casualties

Moscow’s major airports have returned to normal operations following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks over the weekend that caused widespread flight disruptions. Russian officials reported that more than 230 Ukrainian drones were intercepted since Saturday morning, with 27 downed over the capital region. The attacks led to the temporary closure of Moscow’s four main airports and the cancellation or redirection of over 130 flights.

Russia’s Association of Tour Operators (Ator) confirmed that Moscow airports experienced ten closures within 24 hours due to the strikes. The Kaluga region, southwest of Moscow, and areas near the Ukrainian border including Rostov and Bryansk, also reported drone activity. No fatalities were reported in Russia from these specific drone incidents.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have reported casualties from Russian air strikes over the weekend. At least three people were killed, including two in Donetsk and a 78-year-old woman in Sumy, where residential buildings were destroyed. Ukraine’s air force stated it shot down 18 out of 57 Russian drones overnight into Sunday, with an additional seven lost to jamming. Front-line areas such as Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia were also targeted.
