Moscow, June 22 (Petra) -- Moscow’s four major international airports resumed operations on Monday following a temporary suspension of flights triggered by a wave of drone attacks targeting the Russian capital, government authorities announced.

The flight suspensions at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports lasted for several hours after defense systems were activated to intercept unmanned aerial vehicles heading toward the city.

"Once the threat was neutralized and airspace safety protocols were restored over the capital, airport operations were subsequently resumed following the temporary flight suspension," Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said during a press briefing.

Sobyanin added that civil aviation authorities will maintain ongoing coordination to ensure strict compliance with security standards for passenger and aircraft safety.
