MOSCOW, RUSSIA - AUGUST 11: Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said on Friday (Aug. 11) that a Ukrainian drone was jammed near the city center, and Roman Starovoit, governor of Russia's bordering Kursk region, said two Ukrainian drones were shot down as they approached the region. Moscow Vnukovo airport authorities announced flight rerouting after closing the airspace and suspending departures and landings owing to security concerns. Vnukovo is divided into two sections, one for civilian flights, both domestic and international, and the other for government flights, which only serve the Russian president and other officials. The airport has been targeted several times in recent months, never causing any damage but frequently disrupting air traffic. The authorities of Kaluga city, 162 kilometers (100 miles) from Moscow, have also closed airspace and canceled flight operations to ensure the safety of civil aircraft flights. Drone attacks have increased dramatically in recent months. Although Kyiv has not directly claimed responsibility for any of the recent attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in July that attacks on Russian territory are an "inevitable, natural, and absolutely fair process."
