MOSCOW, Jan 4, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Three out of four of Moscow's airports shut to air traffic on Sunday after Ukraine launched dozens of drones at the Russian capital, authorities said. The attacks led to multiple flight delays, including at Moscow's second-busiest airport of Vnukovo, Russian media reported. Ukraine, which has itself endured waves of Russian drone strikes throughout the nearly four-year war, did not immediately comment. Each of the airports -- Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky -- partially re-opened less than an hour later, he said in later posts. Russia, which launched a full-scale military assault on its neighbour in 2022, has repeatedly closed its airspace in response to the Ukrainian drone strikes.
