“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.
