Moscow/New Delhi, May 23 -- There were some anxious moments as a flight with an Indian outreach team led by DMK MP Kanimozhi on board landed at Moscow airport safely after being airborne for 45 minutes due to reported drone attacks by Ukraine.

The seven-member Indian MP delegation left for Moscow from New Delhi on Thursday night.

According to reports, when the flight neared the Moscow airport, there were a series of drone attacks and the airport was briefly shut as a precautionary measure.

The delegation was received by the Indian Embassy officials with a bouquet of flowers.
