Ukrainian drones kill eight in Russia and strike Wildberries warehouse, governors say

Ukrainian drone strikes killed at least eight people in Russian regions overnight and on Sunday, targeting various locations according to regional officials. The strikes hit a Wildberries warehouse in the Samara region, located around 800 km from Ukraine's most advanced military positions.

In the Udmurtia region, three people were killed and two injured in a drone attack, according to acting governor Olga Abramova. The border region of Belgorod reported three fatalities and five injuries from Ukrainian strikes.
