Russia downed three drones targeting Moscow, mayor says
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian air defence forces shot down three drones attempting to attack Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, the Russian capital's mayor, said on Friday.
He did not provide further details about the incident but said emergency services were working at the sites where debris from the downed drones had fallen.
Separately, Russia's aviation watchdog said that the Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports in the Moscow region had temporarily suspended operations to ensure flight safety. It announced soon afterwards that flights had resumed.
