The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case following the mass attack by Ukrainian drones on the Moscow region that occurred during the night of July 20.
Consensus
- A mass drone attack occurred in the Moscow region during the night of July 19–20.
- The Russian Investigative Committee (SKR) opened a criminal case under Article 205 of the Criminal Code, classifying it as a terrorist act.
- Ukrainian drones targeted civilian infrastructure and residential buildings in Moscow Oblast.
- Civilian casualties occurred during the attack.
- The main consequences were reported in Podolsk, Domodedovo, and Oдинцовский urban district.
- The Russian authorities stated that Ukrainian military forces were responsible for the attack.
Points of divergence
- A separate incident involving the killing of the chief engineer of Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) occurred on July 15, which led to a criminal case being opened by SKR. This event is unrelated to the Moscow region drone attack. — kommersant
