Thousands of passengers were left stranded across Russia on Sunday after a wave of Ukrainian drones triggered emergency shutdowns at major airports, including Pulkovo International Airport in St. Petersburg, where approximately 7,000 people were reportedly affected.

Authorities suspended flights after radar detected incoming unmanned aerial vehicles. According to Russian media and Telegram channels, over 100 flights were delayed and more than 30 were canceled at Pulkovo alone.

The disruption marks one of the largest aviation interruptions Russia has faced due to Ukrainian drone activity, which has escalated in range and intensity in recent months.
