Ukrainian Drones Strike Moscow Region, Killing One
Moscow region governor said several sites belonging to Russia's largest online retailer Wildberries were also targeted in the attack.
On Sunday night, Ukrainian drones launched a major assault on the Moscow region, claiming at least one life and causing extensive damage, according to Moscow Governor Andrei Vorobyov. The attack targeted Podolsk, where an 83-year-old man lost his life and several others sustained injuries following a strike on a warehouse belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries. Additional damage was reported at a warehouse in Domodedovo, near one of Moscow's principal airports.
Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 822 Ukrainian drones across the nation. Video footage of the aftermath of the Wildberries warehouse strike showed a significant plume of smoke, approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of Moscow. Ukraine has been increasingly targeting Wildberries, alleging it handles military goods, as part of a broader effort to cripple Russia's economic infrastructure supporting its military operations.
The Moscow Times, a Russian publication, has been labeled an "undesirable organization" by the country's Prosecutor General's Office, leading to a criminalization of its work and potential prosecution for its journalists. The paper maintains it remains committed to delivering unbiased reporting, despite facing state-imposed challenges.
It emphasizes that its mission is to offer accurate, independent journalism, refusing to be silenced by authorities who accuse it of discrediting Russian leadership decisions. The outlet urges readers to support its work financially, as small contributions can make a significant impact in the face of repression.
