Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian warehouses killed at least eight people and wounded dozens of workers. The attacks targeted two major logistics facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, located in the Tambov and Moscow regions. In the Tambov region, seven night-shift employees were killed and 25 others were injured at a warehouse in Kotovsk. Meanwhile, a strike in Elektrostal killed one person and wounded 37 others. The administration noted that these facilities were used to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment. The strikes represent the most lethal Ukrainian aerial actions inside Russia in over two years. In addition to the warehouses, drones hit an oil depot in Noginsk and various targets in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. Ukraine continues to target Russian energy infrastructure and military hardware to undermine Moscow's war effort. Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim reported that the fire at the Kotovsk site has been contained.
