Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency, Rosaviatsiya, reports that all airports in the capital region—Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky—have temporarily suspended departures and arrivals.
More than 20 aircraft bound for Moscow have reportedly been diverted to other cities because of the restrictions.
