Moscow Airports Paralyzed for 11 Hours: Drone Threat or Technical Failure?

Three Moscow airports (Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Zhukovsky) suspended operations for nearly 11 hours overnight, with restrictions extending from Thursday into Friday. The cause is not stated in the report, but such disruptions in Russian airspace are typically linked to drone attacks or air-defense activity. This is a recurring pattern in 2026, though the extended duration and multi-airport impact mark a notable escalation.
