      <title>Moscow shoots down dozens of drones as airports halt flights</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Russian capital of Moscow shot down dozens of drones in the early hours of Monday and briefly suspended flights at airports, ​local authorities said, just days after Ukraine hit the ​city’s oil refinery again.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nearly 60 drones heading for Moscow ⁠were downed, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sobyanin did ​not provide further details, adding that emergency services had been ​dispatched to areas where drones were downed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The airports of Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo, as well as Zhukovskiy near the capital, had suspended flights, although ​those were later resumed, the aviation watchdog said separately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The attack ​comes after drones again &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-attacks-kyiv-with-missiles-local-authorities-say-2026-06-17/"&gt;hit&lt;/a&gt; Moscow’s sole oil refinery last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In that offensive, ‌Moscow’s defence ⁠systems shot down nearly 200 drones in one of the biggest air attacks on the city since Russia’s military attack on Ukraine in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The city of Sevastopol in Russia-annexed Crimea cancelled all open-air ​public events ​on Monday and ⁠will keep street lights switched off, Mikhail Razvozhayev, the city governor, said on Telegram as ​he called on people to curb electricity ​usage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crimea, a ⁠popular tourist destination for Russians, has &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-attack-kills-five-crimea-halts-public-fuel-sales-2026-06-21/"&gt;suspended&lt;/a&gt; fuel sales to the public and businesses, with supplies restricted to government agencies responsible ⁠for essential ​services and security, as Ukraine’s drone ​attacks on its supply routes and energy facilities elsewhere led to a fuel ​crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
