Moscow is facing a second day of large-scale drone attacks, causing delays for dozens of flights with airports around the Russian capital forced to temporarily halt operations overnight.

Dozens of flights have been delayed, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded at Moscow's other airports, Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo, on the second consecutive day of drone attacks targeting the Russian capital and its suburbs.

Air traffic around Moscow was disrupted on May 22 as the Russian capital came under a heavy drone attack, halting flights at multiple airports. The attack came a day after 27 drones were launched towards the city.
