Civilian flights were temporarily suspended in Moscow and St. Petersburg—Russia’s capital and its second largest city—after Kyiv launched a fresh wave of cross-border drone attacks in the early hours of June 10.

Immediately following the attacks, civilian flights were temporarily suspended at Moscow’s four main airports and at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport, according to Russia’s civil aviation authority.
