Russia halts flights at Moscow airports after wave of Ukrainian drone attacks
Russia temporarily suspended all flights at four major airports serving Moscow early Tuesday, citing safety concerns as Ukrainian drones targeted the region. Russian agencies said air defence systems destroyed 76 drones in just two hours on Monday.
Earlier, Russia launched another overnight air attack targeting Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said early on Tuesday, adding that air defence units were engaged in trying to repel the strike.
PRISONER SWAP HAPPENING AT SAME TIME
Amid this unfolding security crisis, Russia and Ukraine also exchanged prisoners of war under the age of 25 on Monday. Hundreds of soldiers returned home in emotional reunions — part of a wider deal announced during direct talks in Istanbul on June 2, which calls for exchanging at least 1,200 POWs from each side and repatriating bodies of the fallen.
