At least three people were killed and five wounded in the Moscow region overnight from July 12 to 13 in attacks by Ukrainian drones. The local governor announced that 81 drones had been shot down that same night.
The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, confirmed the death toll from the overnight strikes on Monday morning. "In the town of Pionersky in Istra, three people were killed and three others injured when a drone crashed. In Solnechnogorsk, two people were injured after a drone struck an apartment building," he wrote on Telegram.
Eighty-one drones were intercepted and shot down in the region overnight, according to the same official. The strikes nevertheless caused civilian casualties in at least two separate locations.
Further south, in the Stavropol region, Governor Vladimir Vladimirov reported an "enemy attack" that had sparked a fire in the industrial zone of the village of Viazniki, in the Shpakovsky district. No casualties were reported in the area at the time of his announcement.
These strikes are part of a recent Ukrainian campaign primarily targeting Russian hydrocarbon infrastructure, with the stated objective of cutting off the financial resources Moscow is allocating to its war effort. Russia, for its part, continues to bomb Ukrainian territory daily, more than four years after the start of the conflict, which remains without a diplomatic solution.
