Summary
Rosaviatsiya temporarily restricted flights at Moscow airports after Russian authorities said 13 drones were destroyed as they approached the capital overnight.
Sobyanin said 237 UAVs were reported heading toward Moscow Oblast between 20:30 on Aug. 10 and 08:30 on Aug. 11, with most intercepted on distant approaches.
Domodedovo and Zhukovsky could accept and dispatch flights only with official approval during the airspace curbs, which Rosaviatsiya later lifted.
Emergency services were sent to sites where drone debris fell, extending a pattern of repeated attacks near Moscow after a late-July strike that Russian authorities said involved dozens of drones.
