Drones over Stavropolye were annihilated by air defense, with REB playing a key role in the destruction.
In the Stavropol region of Russia, an incident involving the shooting down of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) occurred on the night of August 12, 2025. The latest updates suggest that these drones targeted the Monocrystal plant, an industrial facility, causing noted damage according to local authorities [3].
Governor Vladimir Vladimirov confirmed the attack, but details about the facility or the extent of the damage remain limited [1]. To ensure safety and prevent casualties or further damage, sapper (explosive ordnance disposal) teams were promptly deployed to the area. These teams are currently working with the drone remnants, a standard procedure after drone strikes to secure the site and protect civilians and infrastructure [1].
Residents of the Stavropol region heard loud noises during the night, possibly related to controlled explosions carried out by specialists to prevent any possible detonation of remaining explosives in the drone remnants [2]. It is worth noting that these explosions are not considered dangerous.
The UAVs were shot down using electronic warfare means, and the debris from the shot-down UAVs fell in uninhabited areas of the region [4]. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the UAV debris falling [5].
This drone strike marks a significant event in the Stavropol region, and safety measures, including sapper team involvement for site clearance, have been initiated to manage remnants and maintain security. However, detailed operational reports on sapper activities have not been publicly disclosed at this time [1][3].
