Ukrainian drone strikes across Russia cause casualties and warehouse fires

Ukrainian drone strikes across several Russian regions resulted in multiple deaths and set fire to a Wildberries warehouse in Leningrad Oblast.
Ukrainian drone attacks across multiple Russian regions have caused significant casualties and damaged commercial infrastructure. In Moscow Oblast, regional officials reported at least five deaths and ten injuries following aerial strikes. Meanwhile, in Krasnodar Krai, seven people, including three children, were killed and dozens injured after a drone crashed onto a crowded beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka.
Logistics facilities were also targeted. In Leningrad Oblast, falling debris from intercepted drones triggered a fire at a Wildberries e-commerce warehouse in Krasny Bor, leaving one person injured. Local authorities stated that air defense systems destroyed 17 drones over the area. The strike marks the second consecutive night that Wildberries storage facilities were hit during long-range drone attacks across Russian territory.
