Russia’s aviation authorities have issued emergency flight restrictions at four major airports—Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky, and Pulkovo—after drone incursions were detected near key air corridors, prompting temporary halts to arrivals and departures. These safety measures led to hundreds of flight delays and cancellations, overwhelming terminals in Moscow and St. Petersburg as ground staff worked to manage passenger congestion. The move underscores growing concerns over drone-related threats to civil aviation, with authorities now maintaining heightened surveillance and readiness to prevent further disruptions.
