Ukrainian drones strike Moscow region, killing one

Ukrainian drones launched a significant attack on the Moscow region over the weekend, resulting in the death of one individual and causing injury to several others, according to the provincial governor. Andrei Vorobyov alleged that the assault targeted a warehouse belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries. The attack also caused damage to a warehouse in the town of Domodedovo, which is situated near one of Moscow's primary airports.

Russia's Defense Ministry reported that they had successfully shot down 822 Ukrainian drones across the nation.

A Reuters video captured the aftermath of the strike on Wildberries' Koledino warehouse, which is located approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) south of Moscow. The aftermath was characterized by a substantial plume of smoke emanating from the site. Ukraine has been targeting Wildberries, which they accuse of handling military goods, in recent weeks as part of a broader effort to undermine Russia's economic infrastructure that they perceive as supporting Moscow's military operations.
