Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce facilities and resort beach

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted logistics facilities belonging to Russian e-commerce company Wildberries across several regions overnight, resulting in six deaths and nine injuries. Russian officials reported five fatalities in Moscow Oblast, while another strike ignited a warehouse fire in the St. Petersburg region, prompting evacuations. Ukrainian forces have hit approximately 20 Wildberries sites since mid-July, claiming the retailer is used to supply military equipment and drones to Russian troops.

In a separate development, verified footage confirmed a Monday drone attack on a crowded beach in the resort town of Gelendzhik, which Russian authorities reported killed seven people. Moscow subsequently stated its forces conducted retaliatory strikes against seven Ukrainian cargo vessels.
