Ukrainian drone strikes overnight set fire to energy facilities in Volgograd and a Wildberries logistics hub in the Penza region, injuring six people across both incidents.

Ukrainian overnight drone strikes targeted multiple locations in Russia, including energy infrastructure in the Volgograd region and an e-commerce distribution hub in the Penza region.

Volgograd Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed that drone attacks ignited fires at energy facilities and industrial warehouses, injuring five people. Independent Telegram channels Astra and Exilenova+ reported that the strikes affected a local refinery operated by oil producer Lukoil.

In a separate attack, drones struck a logistics facility owned by Wildberries in Mastinovka, Penza region. Penza Governor Oleg Melnichenko reported one injury, while emergency personnel evacuated approximately 200 workers from the facility.

The incidents follow a pattern of uncrewed aerial attacks aimed at disrupting commercial and energy infrastructure inside Russian territory.
