Eight people were killed and more than 60 injured in a series of Ukrainian drone strikes across Russia, targeting two Wildberries warehouses in Tambov’s Kotovsk and near Moscow in Elektrostal, as well as an oil depot in Noginsk. The attacks sparked fires that damaged the facilities, a kindergarten, and a residential building, prompting evacuations including a nearby maternity hospital. Ukrainian officials said the strikes hit logistical sites used to supply components for drones and navigation equipment, while Russia reported intercepting 379 drones over 19 regions. This marks another escalation in Ukraine’s long‑range aerial campaign aimed at undermining Moscow’s war effort.
