Russian officials say overnight Ukrainian drone attacks killed eight people and wounded more than 60 in Russia, with some of the most significant damage reported at two large warehouse sites linked to online retailer Wildberries.
According to local authorities, the strikes hit facilities in Elektrostal, about 50 kilometres east of Moscow. Images and reports from the scene described towering plumes of smoke rising above one of the warehouse complexes after the attack.
The reported casualties and the targeting of major logistics infrastructure highlight the growing impact of drone warfare beyond the front lines. The warehouses are part of the operations of Wildberries, a major Russian e-commerce company, making the strike notable both for its human toll and for its disruption risk.
The latest attack adds to a pattern of cross-border drone operations as the war continues to affect areas deep inside Russian territory. Details about the full extent of the damage and any broader operational fallout were still emerging.
