Many explosions rock Stavropol.
In the heart of Russia, the city of Stavropol and its surrounding region have been under siege from a series of drone attacks in July and August 2025. The latest information confirms that Ukrainian drones targeted several key industrial and defense plants, including Monocrystal, Signal, Neptun, and Stilsoft.
On the night of August 12, the Monocrystal synthetic sapphire plant and the Neptun control systems plant were hit by drones. Governor Vladimir Vladimirov declared a "drone danger" in the Stavropol region after the incidents. Earlier, on July 26, multiple drones attacked Stavropol, damaging the Signal radio plant and Stilsoft, a defense technology company.
Witnesses reported hearing a buzzing sound in the sky before the explosions, which occurred around 3:00 Moscow time, with approximately five explosions reported in total. The air defense system was activated against the Ukrainian drones, but details about the damage caused by the explosions are not yet available.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported due to the attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Stavropol region, according to Vladimir Vladimirov. However, in a separate incident, four civilians were injured due to shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Belgorod region.
The regional administrative center and the city of Nevinnomyssk were potential targets of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Stavropol region. The longest drone danger alert in the Stavropol region since the start of the special military operation occurred on August 10. Governor Vladimir Vladimirov issued a drone danger alert via his Telegram channel.
The city of Stavropol, the regional center, is located in the Stavropol region, Russia. The special military operation refers to the ongoing Russian military operation in Ukraine, although the exact start date is not specified in the provided information.
The information about the explosions was reported by the Telegram channel SHOT. It is important to note that while Russian authorities have confirmed the drone attacks and related explosions, Ukrainian sources, including the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), have confirmed their responsibility for at least the July 26 strike. Independent verification is limited, but multiple Russian and Ukrainian sources are consistent on the occurrence and targets of these drone attacks.
As the situation continues to unfold, residents of the Stavropol region are urged to monitor updates regarding the drone danger alert. The attacks have caused significant damage and heightened security alerts in the region, underscoring the need for vigilance and preparedness.
