Ukrainian drone attacks hit Wildberries facilities near Moscow and St. Petersburg, while a separate strike killed seven on a Black Sea beach.

Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted logistics warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest e-commerce platform, in the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions. Russian officials reported at least six people killed and nine injured in the attacks on the commercial facilities, including five deaths in Moscow County. Ukrainian forces have reportedly struck around 20 Wildberries locations since mid-July, alleging the site is utilized to distribute military equipment and drones.

In a separate incident, Russian authorities stated that seven people died when a drone struck a crowded beach near the Black Sea resort town of Gelendzhik on Monday. Verified footage showed an explosion near bathers. Concurrently, Russian defense officials claimed to have struck seven Ukrainian cargo vessels.
