Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks on Russia, striking a major Wildberries warehouse and other targets. The overnight assault brought the war directly to Russian civilians.
Wildberries is one of Russia’s biggest online retailers. The warehouse fire forced workers to evacuate and disrupted deliveries across the region.
At the same time, Russian missiles and drones continued hitting Ukrainian cities. Officials reported damage to civilian buildings and industrial sites in several areas.
The attacks show how the conflict is spreading beyond the front lines. Both sides are now targeting infrastructure that affects ordinary people far from the fighting.
Ukrainian officials said the drone strikes were aimed at military and logistics hubs. Russia’s defense ministry claimed it intercepted most of the drones but did not comment on the warehouse damage.
In Ukraine, local authorities urged residents to stay in shelters as air raid alarms sounded through the night. Emergency crews worked to put out fires and clear rubble.
No casualty numbers were immediately available from either side. The exchanges mark a new phase of the war, where civilians on both borders feel the impact daily.
