Emergencies in Russia
In recent months, explosions and fires have been occurring frequently in the territory of Russia, both in border regions with Ukraine and in remote areas.
For example, reports claimed an alleged "drone strike" in Moscow last night.
On the morning of July 24, Moscow was attacked by two drones. One of them hit a business center where the Leroy Merlin store is located, and the other fell near the Russian Ministry of Defense building and the GRU cyber intelligence headquarters.
