**Headline:** DMK MP Kanimozhi’s Delegation Flight Delayed Due to Drone Attack in Moscow
On Thursday, a flight carrying a delegation led by DMK MP Kanimozhi was delayed for several hours due to a drone attack that temporarily closed Moscow’s Domodedovo International Airport. The incident, reportedly attributed to Ukraine, resulted in the suspension of both domestic and international flight operations, forcing Kanimozhi’s flight to circle the airport until it was cleared to land.
After a significant delay, the flight eventually landed safely, where officials from the Indian embassy in Russia welcomed the all-party delegation and escorted them to their hotel. The delegation is on a mission to several European countries, including Russia, Spain, Greece, Slovenia, and Latvia, to discuss India’s recent Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to the April 22 attacks in Pahalgam, Pakistan.
The delegation aims to present India’s perspective on regional security and raise awareness about Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism. Alongside Kanimozhi, the team includes notable members such as Rajeev Rai from the Samajwadi Party, Mian Altaf Ahmad from the National Conference, Brijesh Chowta from the BJP, Prem Chand Gupta from the RJD, Ashok Kumar Mittal from the AAP, and former diplomats Manjeev S Puri and Jawed Ashraf.
On Friday, the delegation is scheduled to meet with members of the Russian Duma and officials from the foreign ministry, as well as engage with leading experts from local think tanks. They will hold a press conference and interact with local media on Saturday before departing for Slovenia.
