Over 600 drones targeted Moscow and surrounding area

Russian authorities reported an attack involving more than 600 drones targeting Moscow and the Moscow Oblast, with restrictions affecting several airports and diversions tied to the situation. Two aircraft flying from Türkiye to Moscow were diverted due to limits at Vnukovo Airport. Rosaviatsia imposed arrival and departure restrictions at Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky (Ramenskoye); Zhukovsky reopened an hour later, while the other two continued with approvals. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 57 drones heading toward the city were shot down, later raising figures repeatedly: another 49, then totals reaching 64 as of 02:15, 109 by early morning, and a claim of 613 drones flying toward the region between Oct. 28 evening and Oct. 29 morning. Officials did not report consequences.
