The attack forced temporary flight restrictions at Moscow’s four major airports — Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo, and Zhukovsky — Russia’s aviation agency said.

Far from the capital, a drone also reportedly targeted the Acron chemical and fertilizer plant in Veliky Novgorod, over 550 kilometers northwest of Moscow.
