October 23, Pozirk. <\/em><\/strong>Flight cancellations and delays between Minsk and Moscow have been reported today amid closures of airports in the Russian capital due to a drone attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delays also affected other routes, including Bie\u0142avija flights connecting Minsk with Turkey\u2019s Antalya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russian aviation authorities imposed temporary restrictions on arrivals and departures at all four Moscow airports throughout the day. A drone crashed on the grounds of Sheremetyevo Airport, where an air raid alert was issued. Restrictions have been lifted after 5 pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged airlines flying to Russia to take into account the growing number of attack drones in Russian airspace. Ukraine does not threaten civil aviation, but flying in Russia is becoming increasingly unsafe, he said. Zelensky also stressed that Ukraine does not want innocent people to die and is therefore warning airlines and foreign diplomats of the danger in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February 2022, Russia started a full-scale war against Ukraine in which the Belarusian authorities supported the Kremlin, allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from Belarus on multiple occasions and supplying arms to Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
