Ukrainian drone strikes target Russian e-commerce sites and Black Sea beach

Ukrainian drone strikes continued targeting facilities of Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries, alongside a fatal strike on a Black Sea resort town.

Overnight attacks sparked fires at major Wildberries logistics warehouses in the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions. Russian authorities reported at least six people killed and nine injured in the commercial strikes, with five fatalities recorded in Moscow County alone. Ukrainian forces have struck roughly 20 Wildberries locations since mid-July, alleging the platform distributes military equipment and drones.

Separately, Russian authorities stated seven people died when a drone struck a crowded beach near Gelendzhik on Monday. Verified footage showed a drone detonating near bathers at the popular tourist destination. Concurrently, Russian defense officials claimed to have struck seven Ukrainian cargo vessels.
