Russia Says Ukrainian Drone Attack Kills Seven at Logistics Centre
Russian authorities say a Ukrainian drone attack on a logistics centre in western Russia has killed seven people and injured 24 others, marking one of the deadliest strikes on civilian infrastructure in the region in recent months.
According to Russian officials, the attack targeted a Wildberries logistics facility, causing significant damage to the complex and triggering a large fire that engulfed parts of the warehouse. Emergency responders were deployed to rescue trapped workers and contain the blaze.
Authorities said the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, while rescue teams continued searching the site for additional victims. An investigation has been launched into the incident.
Russian officials condemned the attack, describing it as a strike on civilian infrastructure, and vowed to respond appropriately. Ukrainian authorities had not immediately commented on the claims at the time of reporting.
The incident comes amid continued cross-border drone attacks and escalating hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides increasingly relying on long-range drones to target strategic sites beyond the front lines.
The latest strike underscores the growing impact of the conflict on civilian infrastructure and highlights the continuing security challenges as the war enters another phase of intensified aerial attacks.
