Flights Resume in Moscow After Major Drone Attack

Flights have resumed at all airports in Moscow, Yaroslavl, and Nizhny Novgorod following a significant overnight drone attack from Ukraine. The attack led to a temporary suspension while Russia's air defence units reported the destruction of 337 Ukrainian drones, including 91 in the Moscow region.

MOSCOW, March 11 (Reuters) - Aviation activities have been restored at all airports across Moscow, Yaroslavl, and Nizhny Novgorod. This followed a temporary suspension induced by a substantial overnight attack by Ukrainian drones, as announced by the aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia on Tuesday.

Russia's defence ministry disclosed that its air defence systems neutralized a total of 337 Ukrainian drones during the night, with 91 of these being intercepted specifically within the Moscow region.

The swift response ensured minimal disruption, although the scale of the attack highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations, underscoring the challenges in aviation security and regional stability.
