Details: Vnukovo airport has temporarily limited the landing and take-off of civilian aircraft.

The Mash Telegram channel writes that the restriction of landings and takeoffs was introduced in the airspace over the airport.

Usually this is implemented when "dangerous or unknown objects" are spotted in the sky.

Meanwhile, Sobyanin claimed that at around 11:00, "there was an attempt of a drone breaking through to Moscow."

The drone was reportedly shot down.
