In brief
Ukrainian drones struck a warehouse close to Moscow, killing five people and injuring another ten. The site, linked to e-commerce giant Wildberries, was allegedly used to supply the Russian military. Moscow’s governor confirmed the attack and the resulting fire. Meanwhile, Russia intercepted 320 drones overnight and launched counter‑strikes that left several civilians wounded in other regions. The conflict continues to intensify with heavy civilian casualties across the country.
At least five people were killed and ten more injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse near Moscow overnight, the local governor said.
The Russian official did not disclose the precise target but indicated the site was operated by the e‑commerce chain Wildberries, which Kyiv claims supplies the Russian military.
Moscow region’s governor Andrei Vorobyov posted a Telegram message detailing the hit: an industrial site in Novoselki, Chekhov, about 69 km south of Moscow, was struck, causing a fire and serious injuries to a dozen people.
Wildberries’ warehouses were also hit in the St Petersburg and Tver regions overnight, the company confirmed an incident in St Petersburg but remained silent on the Moscow strike.
Russia’s defence ministry said it intercepted and destroyed 320 drones during the night, a figure last week that reflected the increasing Ukrainian drone campaign.
In related incidents, Russian forces struck several Ukrainian cities – Mykolaiv, Sumy, Bilhorod‑Dnistrovskyi and Dnipro – killing civilians, injuring children and setting a food warehouse ablaze.
