Restrictions on flights at Moscow's Vnukovo airport have been lifted, TASS news agency reported, citing Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. 

Earlier, landings and takeoffs at Vnukovo airport were temporarily restricted on Tuesday morning "for technical reasons beyond the control of the airport," Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency, or Rosaviatsiya, said on the Telegram messaging app.

It was not immediately known whether the changes were related to a number of drones being intercepted early on Tuesday near Moscow.
