Ukrainian drone strikes have forced Russia to shut all four of its major airports in a dramatic show of force against Moscow.
The closures came during the second consecutive night of aerial assaults on the Russian capital.
Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia confirmed the airports were closed "to ensure safety" and reopened hours later.
The widespread disruption affected air travel across the country, with multiple incoming flights diverted.

All four major Moscow airports - Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Zhukovsky - were closed as the drones targeted the capital, diverting multiple incoming aircrafts.
At least nine other airports were also affected by the drone assault.
Russian tourists reported being trapped in a Nesma Airlines plane from the Egyptian resort of Hurghada to Moscow for ten hours, with the flight being diverted to St Petersburg.
Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said at least 19 Ukrainian drones were destroyed before reaching the capital and claimed there were no casualties.
He said: "Some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city."
A clean-up operation was underway on Moscow's Kashirskoye Highway following the attack, with Russian authorities claiming to have shot down 105 Ukrainian drones.
Ukraine has not commented on the strikes and has refused to accept Putin's unilateral three-day ceasefire scheduled to start tomorrow night.
