And they began publishing maps of bomb shelters.
Authorities in the Moscow Region have begun publishing official maps of shelters amid reports of possible strikes on Moscow and growing fear among local residents.
This was reported by The Moscow Times.
Where the Shelter Maps Appeared
On July 30, an interactive map featuring hundreds of locations—in Lyubertsy, Dzerzhinsk, Oktyabrsky, and other settlements—appeared on the Lyubertsy District website. These are underground facilities designed to protect people during emergencies—basements of apartment buildings, underground parking garages, post offices, and other structures.
The Podolsk District administration has also published a similar map, and earlier, similar data appeared on the Odintsovo District website.
Why is this happening right now
The publication of the maps coincided with a statement by the owner of the Ukrainian company Fire Point Denis Stillermann that ballistic missile strikes on Moscow could begin as early as this fall, following the completion of tests on a new missile.
How the Moscow region has already faced attacks
The Moscow region has already been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones and missiles during large-scale operations deep into Russian territory. In mid-June, following one of the largest drone raids on Moscow at that time, residents of the region complained en masse about the complete lack of warnings and air raid sirens—Russians only learned of the approaching drones with their own eyes.
The Kotelniki administration explained at the time in the city’s Telegram chat that air raid alerts are “an extreme measure, not a routine one,” and that sirens are activated only in the event of a “direct and confirmed threat to life.”
Officials also refused to provide residents with information about shelters, despite numerous questions in Governor Andrei Vorobyov’s Telegram chat — at the time, the authorities stated that information on the location of shelters would be provided to the public only “during mobilization and in wartime.”
