The temporary restrictions also applied to the airport in the city of Kaluga, 190 kilometers southwest of Moscow. No specific reasons were given. After a short time, the all-clear was given again.
Restrictions are repeatedly imposed at various airports in Russia as a result of drone attacks from Ukraine. Due to the deployment of Russian air defense, take-offs and landings are sometimes not possible. However, no defensive measures were reported this time.
Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian invasion for almost three years with Western help. As part of its defensive campaign, it also repeatedly attacks targets in Russia.
