All flights at all Moscow airports have been grounded following a Ukrainian drone attack, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), citing Russian reports. Details on the scale of the attack, interceptions, or any casualties are not yet available. The move continues a pattern of major disruptions to Moscow air travel from repeated Ukrainian UAV raids this week.
Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow have escalated to the point of grounding all air traffic in the Russian capital. According to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), Russian authorities halted all flights at every airport across Moscow after a fresh UAV strike. The exact target, number of drones involved, and any damage or casualties have not been reported.
This is the most severe disruption to Moscow air travel since earlier today, when a major fire at a Moscow oil refinery — also from a Ukrainian drone strike, as The Zioneer reported at 13:50 Jerusalem — grounded flights and sent a fuel storage tank's roof airborne. The current suspension extends that shutdown to all airports citywide.
The move reflects a broader pattern this week: repeated Ukrainian drone raids on Moscow and its energy infrastructure, including strikes on oil refineries on Thursday that marked the second such attack in days. Russia's Defense Ministry separately claimed to have intercepted 555 Ukrainian drones overnight alone, though that figure has not been independently verified.
What remains unclear: whether this suspension is temporary or indefinite; whether any flights were diverted or stranded; and whether Moscow's emergency services reported any casualties or infrastructure damage from the specific attack that triggered the shutdown.
