Domodedovo Airport, Moscow's second-largest airport located 26 miles from the center, experienced significant disruption after being targeted by multiple Ukrainian drone strikes overnight. The attack led to the airport filling with smoke and fires breaking out, causing damage to a nearby warehouse due to falling debris. In response to the threat, air traffic at Domodedovo, along with Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airports, faced restrictions, leading to rerouted flights and delays. The incident marks a notable escalation in the conflict, with reports suggesting that such drone activities could become more frequent in the coming months.
