Drones have disrupted operations at the airport in the Russian city of Sochi, leaving thousands of passengers unable to fly home since Friday.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the ASTRA Telegram channel.
“Since June 5, Sochi Airport has been operating with serious disruptions amid attacks by Ukrainian drones. Thousands of passengers have been unable to leave the resort city for several days,” the report said.
According to the airport’s online departures and arrivals board, dozens of flights have been delayed, while some have been canceled altogether. Passengers have complained about overcrowding in the terminal, where no seats remain available. Many travelers are sitting or lying on the floor, using towels and camping mats as makeshift bedding.
The channel noted that during this period the airport was open for only eight minutes.
