Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian e-commerce sites and Black Sea resort

Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted multiple facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, causing fires and casualties across several regions. Updated figures from Russian authorities state six people were killed and nine injured during strikes in Moscow Oblast, while evacuations occurred at a burning warehouse near St. Petersburg. Ukrainian forces have struck approximately 20 Wildberries logistics hubs since mid-July, alleging the platform distributes military equipment and drones to Russian troops.

Separately, verified video captured a drone hitting a crowded beach near the Black Sea resort town of Gelendzhik, where Russian officials reported seven fatalities. In response, Moscow claimed its military conducted retaliatory strikes against seven Ukrainian cargo vessels.
