Sobyanin published no posts for almost a day after the largest attack on Moscow, although the Ministry of Defense reports new shelling Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin remained inactive on his social media for nearly a full day following a significant drone attack on the region. His first post after this pause was a seemingly pre-scheduled announcement about the “Muscovite” card, published at 11:00 AM the following day. This hiatus is unusual, as Sobyanin typically posts regularly and would normally update on drone incidents, but no new messages appeared concerning subsequent reported drone activity.

• Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin did not post on social media for almost 24 hours after a major drone attack.
• His first post after the pause was about the 25th anniversary of the “Muscovite” card, published at 11:00 AM the next day.
• This silence is unusual for Sobyanin, who normally posts frequently and provides updates during drone attacks.
• The previous day, Sobyanin had posted about the drone attack, including a fire at the Moscow Oil Refinery.
• Despite reports of further drone activity in the Moscow region the following day, his social media remained silent on the matter.
• The attack primarily targeted the Moscow Oil Refinery, causing significant damage and fires.
• There are reports and analyses suggesting that key technological infrastructure at the refinery may have been damaged.
