Russian media began the day reporting on widespread Ukrainian drone attacks across the country, notably repelling 86 UAVs, and updating casualties from the Kursk beach attack. The focus then shifted to internal security, detailing the FSB's thwarting of a railway bridge explosion in Saratov and the liquidation of the saboteur. Concurrently, reports emerged concerning alleged threats by US President Trump to "bomb Moscow," prompting a calm response from the Kremlin. Later in the day, Gelendzhik airport's imminent reopening from July 10 became a dominant domestic story, with multiple outlets confirming readiness and ticket sales. The day concluded with prominent coverage of President Putin's dismissal of Mikhail Bogdanov, a Deputy Foreign Minister. This personnel change marked a significant late-day development.
