Moscow’s airports were temporarily closed following an alleged Ukrainian attack involving drones and aerostatic balloons, according to information reported by Digi24 journalists and sources cited by The Wall Street Journal. The incident caused major disruptions to air traffic, while air defense systems were reportedly activated in the Russian capital region.

According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, the aircraft carrying Vladimir Putin was reportedly grounded in the air. The Russian president was returning from Turkmenistan, where he had attended a regional summit. The information has not been officially confirmed.

More than 350 flights were delayed, while over 100 were canceled at Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Zhukovsky airports. Crowding and chaos were reported in the terminals, while Russian authorities have so far not provided complete information about the scale of the attack.

It is not yet known how many drones may have been involved, nor whether the attack caused casualties or material damage in Moscow and the surrounding areas. The situation continues to be monitored, and the information may change as the authorities provide additional data.
