Moscow reporting massive drone attack; airports impose restrictions on flights

"Russian authorities claim that more than two hundred of them were shot down as they approached the Russian capital. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and Russian media outlets have reported this.
According to Sobyanin, 231 drones were allegedly destroyed as they approached Moscow, while most of the others were neutralized well outside the capital’s perimeter. The
Russian side has not provided any independent confirmation of these figures.
Throughout the night, the mayor of the
Russian capital regularly reported on the air defense operations. As of 5:00 a.m., he stated that 109 drones had been destroyed since the start of the day. Sobyanin also assured that emergency services were working at the crash sites, but, as usual, did not provide any details regarding specific consequences or damage.
Amid the massive drone attack,
Russian aviation authorities were forced to urgently implement the “Kover” plan and restrict operations at key airports in the Moscow air hub: Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky." UN
