MOSCOW, Feb 22 (Reuters) – Four Moscow airports resumed flights on Sunday, after they were earlier suspended for security reasons, aviation regulator Rosaviatsia said. 

Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky airports paused operations for just over an hour amid a drone attack on the Russian capital.

Air defence systems had downed 71 Ukrainian drones, including 11 flying en route to Moscow, since 2 p.m. (1100 GMT), the Interfax news agency reported, citing the Russian Defence Ministry.
