Drones paralyzed the work of Russian airports.

Seven planes flying to Moscow were diverted to alternate airfields because of drone attacks. This is reported by Telegram channel SHOT.

It is noted that on the night of December 8, a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul left for St. Petersburg. Three Ajet aircraft from Turkey, as well as an AzurAir plane from Novosibirsk, were diverted to the capital's Sheremetyevo airport.

Changes in airport schedules also appeared during the flight of a FlyDibai airliner from Dubai and a Pobeda flight from Tashkent. They eventually landed in Nizhny Novgorod.

The capital's airport also delayed the departure of 15 flights, including flights to Turkey, the UAE and Georgia.

On the morning of December 8, a spokesman for the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) Artyom Korenyako said that temporary restrictions on civil aviation flights had been imposed at Moscow's Vnukovo airport.
