Emergency services are working at the site of the debris fall, as noted by Sobyanin. However, he did not report any injuries or damage to ground objects as a result of the attack.
During the drone strike, Rosaviatsiya imposed restrictions on the arrival and departure of aircraft at all airports in the capital. This led to delays and cancellations of about 200 flights. According to "RIA Novosti," the situation in the terminals remains calm, and no crowding of passengers has been observed.
At Sheremetyevo, as of 6:00 AM Moscow time, 19 flights were redirected to alternate airfields, and 23 flights were delayed for departure. Vnukovo also experienced changes in its schedule, although the exact number of delayed flights has not been specified. Passengers have already been provided with over 500 mattresses and mats for comfortable waiting.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 287 Ukrainian drones were "intercepted and destroyed" overnight. The largest number was shot down over the Bryansk region — 118 drones. In the Moscow region and Kaluga region, 40 drones were destroyed each, and the Tula, Novgorod, Yaroslavl, Lipetsk, Smolensk, Kursk, Oryol, Voronezh, and Ryazan regions were also targeted.
Earlier, on September 23, Moscow also faced a massive drone attack, during which 41 drones were shot down in 16 hours. At that time, airports also temporarily suspended their operations, leading to the cancellation or delay of more than 200 flights.
