A Ukrainian drone strike hit a warehouse near Moscow overnight on Tuesday, killing at least five people and injuring 10 others, the region’s governor said. Moscow-Region Fire After Warehouse HitGovernor Andrei Vorobyov said the attack targeted an industrial site in Novoselki, in Chekhov, about 69km south of the Kremlin. The strike sparked a fire at a warehouse, he said. Vorobyov added that seven of the 10 people injured were in a moderate condition, while one was in a serious condition. Ukraine has not commented directly on the specific target. Ukrainian media reported that the site involved in the Moscow-region attack was linked to Wildberries. Wildberries Facilities Targeted in Multiple RegionsUkraine has carried out strikes on facilities operated by Wildberries in recent weeks, a campaign often described in Russia as hitting the “Russian Amazon”. Kyiv says the company’s depots are used to supply the Russian military, a claim Moscow denies. Local officials also said Wildberries warehouses were targeted overnight in the St Petersburg and Tver regions. Wildberries has not made a public comment about the Moscow-area strike, but it confirmed that its facility in St Petersburg was hit. Russia Says It Intercepted DronesWhile the Moscow region reported the warehouse attack, Russia also launched strikes against parts of Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring several others. The Russian defence ministry said it intercepted and destroyed 320 drones overnight, without giving further details.
