Five dead in Moscow as Ukraine continues warehouse strikes
Facilities in St Petersburg and Tver were also hit, while at least one was killed in Russian strikes on Ukraine.
Five individuals lost their lives in Moscow following continued Ukrainian warehouse attacks.
Ukraine has developed drones, as depicted in July 2026, that possess the capability to strike deep within Russian territory.
According to the region's governor, a Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse near Moscow overnight on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of at least five people and injuries to 10 others.
While the official did not specify the target, Ukraine has recently been conducting strikes on facilities operated by Wildberries, frequently referred to as the "Russian Amazon."
Kyiv asserts that these depots are utilized to supply the Russian military, a claim denied by Moscow.
Local officials also reported that Wildberries warehouses in the St. Petersburg and Tver regions were targeted overnight.
Russia, in turn, launched strikes against parts of Ukraine, leading to at least one fatality and several injuries.
Russia's defense ministry stated that it intercepted and destroyed 320 drones overnight.
Andrei Vorobyov, the Moscow region governor, reported that an industrial site in Novoselki, Chekhov – approximately 69km (43 miles) south of the Kremlin – was attacked, igniting a fire at a warehouse.
He posted on Telegram that seven of the 10 injured individuals were in moderate condition, with one in serious condition.
Ukrainian media indicated that the site of the Moscow strike was connected to Wildberries.
The company has not issued a public statement but confirmed that its facility in St. Petersburg was hit.
Concurrently, Ukraine's State Emergency Service announced that an 89-year-old woman was killed and two girls, aged two and 12, were among seven injured in a Russian strike on the southern port city of Mykolaiv overnight.
Additionally, two people were injured in the city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, and a food warehouse in Dnipro was set ablaze by Russian strikes, according to the service.
Russia claims that seven people were killed and 40 injured by a Ukrainian drone striking a crowded beach.
