Ukrainian drone strike on Russian warehouses in Moscow region kills 5

Ukraine has conducted long-range strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Russia, and in recent weeks stepped up attacks on warehouses belonging to the Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries.

A drone strike on an industrial zone outside the Russian capital of Moscow has killed five people and wounded 10 others, the region's governor said Tuesday, as Moscow and Kyiv traded attacks.

Ukrainian drones hit three warehouses across Russia overnight, including two run by e-commerce giant Wildberries, the local Russian official said.

Ukraine has conducted long-range strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Russia, and in recent weeks stepped up attacks on Wildberries warehouses.

Kyiv often fires hundreds of drones into Russia in retaliation for Russia launching hundreds of its own drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian towns and cities.

Moscow's regional governor, Andrey Vorobyov, said early Tuesday that several fires broke out following a drone strike in the Novoselki industrial zone outside the Russian capital.

"According to preliminary information, five people were killed," he said on Telegram, adding that 10 others were wounded.

Drones also damaged a warehouse near Krasny Bor in northwestern Russia, wounding one person, according to Leningrad regional governor Aleksandr Drozdenko.

Wildberries said a fire broke out at its Krasny Bor logistics facility as a result of the attack.

Another Wildberries warehouse was targeted by a Ukrainian drone attack in the rural area of Emmaus, around 112 miles northwest of Moscow, regional governor Vitaly Korolyov said.

Wildberries is a highly popular online retail platform in Russia, often dubbed the "Russian Amazon," accounting for up to 10% of the country's entire retail turnover, according to Russian media.

Since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022, Wildberries has been accused of helping Russians dodge Western sanctions by importing branded goods via third -party countries.

In Ukraine, Russian attacks killed three people in Sumy in the country's northeast, the head of the regional military administration said on Tuesday.

"Two children and an elderly woman were killed in Russian (guided aerial bomb) strikes on Sumy tonight," Oleg Grygorov said on Telegram.

Six guided aerial bombs struck civilian infrastructure in the city, including residential and non-residential buildings, Grygorov said.

Another attack, on the port city of Mykolaiv in southern Ukraine, killed an 89-year-old woman, according to Georgy Reshetilov, head of the Ukrainian region's military administration.

Russia launched 136 drones at Ukraine overnight, Kyiv's air force said, 117 of which were shot down or intercepted.

There has been an uptick in civilian deaths in the conflict throughout 2026, the United Nations has report
