On the night of July 13, Russia came under another drone attack. According to Russian Telegram channels, at least Moscow and the Stavropol Krai were targeted.
Moscow
Starting at 10:20 p.m., Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin began reporting that air defense systems were allegedly shooting down drones flying toward the Russian capital.
In one of his posts, he simply wrote about repelling an attack by as many as 8 drones, which may indicate that some of the drones did indeed reach Moscow.
According to Sobyanin’s latest data, air defense forces allegedly destroyed 24 drones during the nighttime attack.
At 7:50 a.m., Sobyanin reported that over 350 drones had been flying toward the Moscow region since 8:30 p.m. According to him, most of them were neutralized by the air defense system, and 50 were destroyed as they approached Moscow.

Soon after, the governor himself confirmed the fire, stating the following:
"As a result of the attack, a fire has broken out in the industrial zone in the village of Vyazniki, Shpakovsky district. Firefighters and other emergency services are on the scene," the statement reads.
Other attacks
On the night of July 9, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes against facilities that supply Russia oil complex and support the Kremlin’s military machine.
In particular, the Krasnaya Zarya oil depot in the Tver region and the Stavropolskaya oil depot in the Stavropol Krai were attacked. Large-scale fires broke out after the attacks on these facilities.
