Operations at Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow’s main international hub, were halted for 20 minutes after a young bull blocked the runway, RIA-Novosti reported.
The bull, which escaped from a plane owned by the Air Bridj Cargo company late Thursday, was eventually caught, but not before five planes had to switch airports, landing in Moscow’s Domodedovo, the report said, citing a Sheremetyevo spokeswoman.
It was unclear how the animal managed to escape.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
