Ukraine strikes Russian logistics hubs with drones, killing nine people and damaging major Wildberries warehouses in the Moscow and Tambov regions.

Ukrainian forces launched a series of long-range drone strikes that killed nine people and wounded over 60 others across several Russian regions. The most significant damage occurred at two sprawling warehouses belonging to the major online retailer Wildberries. One facility in Kotovsk, located in the Tambov region, saw seven workers killed and 25 others injured. A second warehouse in Elektrostal, near Moscow, resulted in one fatality and 37 injuries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that these logistical hubs were used by Russia to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment. In addition to the warehouses, Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot in Noginsk and several targets in the Sea of Azov. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defenses intercepted 379 drones over 19 regions, including the annexed Crimea. These strikes represent some of the most lethal Ukrainian aerial actions inside Russian territory in over two years, aimed at undermining the Kremlin's war effort by targeting energy infrastructure and military manufacturing sites.
