A flight carrying the Operation Sindoor outreach delegation to the Russian capital was caught in the crosshairs of a Ukrainian drone attack targeting Moscow airport.
Indian Member of Parliament (MP) Kanimozhi from the DMK party was on the flight, which was forced to circle for hours due to the airport closure.
The MP’s team said Friday, May 23, that the flight could land after a delay of several hours.
Notably, the drone attack, likely launched by Ukraine, led to disruptions at the Domodedovo International Airport, affecting both domestic and international flight operations for several hours. Due to this, the MP’s flight was denied permission to land and was asked to stay airborne for several hours.
Indian embassy staff later received the delegation when the flight landed at the airport after a prolonged delay.
