Impact verdict

Medium impact.

Evidence: Source explicitly confirms airport closure and material damage to energy installations from drone strike. Limit: Duration of closure is unconfirmed and brief; Russian assets are broadly sanctioned limiting London Market exposure; no loss estimates or named commercial aircraft/cargo affected reported.
