This is the best summary I could come up with:
ASHGABAT, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Turkmenistan's flagship airline has suspended flights to Moscow, it said on Wednesday, citing safety concerns after Ukrainian drone attacks on the Russian capital.
"Due to the situation in the Moscow air zone, and based on a risk assessment in order to ensure flight safety, all Turkmenistan Airlines flights on the Ashgabat-Moscow-Ashgabat route will be suspended," the airline said in a statement.
Russia says it has shot down Ukrainian drones near and over Moscow in the past few days, though there are no reports of anybody being hurt.
A high-rise building in Moscow's business district that houses three Russian government ministries was struck by a drone on Tuesday for the second time in three days.
The drone attacks prompted Vnukovo, one of Moscow's airports, to close briefly but it later resumed full operations.
Dang, now we even got the fancy bots on Lemmy. This is awesome!
Glad I could be of service!
