In brief
Ukrainian forces reportedly struck at least two Wildberries warehouses overnight, with a third site linked to the company damaged in the Moscow region. The attack killed five people and left around ten injured. Kyiv says the depots supply the Russian military, but Moscow denies the claim. Russian defence officials said 320 drones were intercepted that night, while Russian strikes across Ukraine also caused casualties. Wildberries, the largest Russian online retailer, has confirmed damage to its St Petersburg facility and has not commented publicly.
Ukrainian drones reportedly struck two Wildberries warehouses on Monday night, with a third site tied to the Russian e‑commerce giant damaged just south of Moscow. The attack left five people dead and about ten injured.
Wildberries, often dubbed the “Russian Amazon”, has confirmed that a warehouse in the St Petersburg region suffered damage, and videos released by Ukrainian media show the building ablaze with thick black smoke.
The strike near Moscow hit a factory site in Chekhov, damaging an electrical substation and an administration building. Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported that seven of the ten injured were in moderate condition and one was serious.
Kyiv contends the depots supply the Russian armed forces, a claim Moscow has denied. In response, Russia’s defence ministry said 320 drones were intercepted overnight. Russian forces have also carried out strikes that killed at least four civilians across Ukraine.
The Wildberries warehouse in the Samara region was reported destroyed on Sunday, with all goods lost, according to state media.
While Ukraine is poised to intensify its drone campaign, both sides claim to target only military infrastructure, arguing that civilian casualties are incidental.
