again Moscow was attacked by drones
On the night of July 30, Moscow and the Moscow region were attacked by drones. Two of them crashed into the Moscow City towers. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported “minor damage to the facades of two City office towers” and no casualties.
It later turned out that a security guard was injured. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that on the morning of July 30, an attempt at a “terrorist attack by the Kiev regime” was stopped. The department claims that both drones “were suppressed by electronic warfare,” lost control and crashed into non-residential buildings.
Traffic was temporarily blocked near the drone crash site. In addition, Vnukovo airport was closed for several hours.
Later, the Ministry of Defense reported that another drone was shot down by air defense forces over the territory of the Odintsovo district of the Moscow region.
As the Agency noted, federal channels did not report on the drone attack in their morning newscasts. Instead, they talked about the Navy parade in St. Petersburg, in which Vladimir Putin participated.

A resident of the closed city of Mirny, Lidiya Prudkovskaya, told Sota that the Investigative Committee summoned her, as well as her two children aged nine and ten, for questioning. Prudovskaya was also given a warrant to search her apartment, but investigative actions have not yet been carried out. She is accused of “discrediting” the army.
The initiation of a criminal case against Prudkovskaya became known on July 24. According to Sota, in September 2022 she was fined 35 thousand rubles under the administrative article of “discredit” for anti-war posts on Vkontakte. It is not reported what became the reason for initiating a criminal case.
In Belarus, more than a hundred Wagner PMC mercenaries moved to the Polish border
This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. According to him, the mercenaries moved towards the Suwalki corridor - this is the shortest land route between Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, which passes through the border territories of Lithuania and Poland.
Morawiecki called what was happening “a step towards a further hybrid attack on Polish territory.” He suggested that the “Wagnerites,” under the guise of Belarusian border guards, will help illegal migrants get into Poland, or they themselves, posing as migrants, will try to cross the border illegally.
