Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed that air defenses downed 105 drones heading for Moscow overnight on Nov. 12-13, grounding flights at the region's airports. The Kyiv Independent reported the claim and said it could not confirm it. Sobyanin said the drones were intercepted between 9:34 p.m. and 2:08 a.m. local time, and that emergency crews were sent to areas hit by falling wreckage. Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsiya, restricted operations at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky airports, which were accepting and dispatching flights only with the agreement of the relevant authorities because of temporary airspace restrictions. Russian officials described the drones as Ukrainian, but the Kyiv Independent noted that officials report only the drones they say were intercepted, so the number launched is unknown. The claims have not been independently verified, and no damage or casualties have been reported. The outlet also noted that drone attacks had disrupted Moscow aviation several times in recent weeks, including on Oct. 23, when flights at all four main airports were grounded.
