## Key points

- Ukrainian strike on Moscow-area warehouse kills five, injures ten
- Kyiv has hit multiple Wildberries sites, alleging military supply links
- Russian strikes on Ukraine kill several, including children, in Mykolaiv and Sumy

## Summary

A Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse near Moscow killed five people and injured ten overnight, part of a wider campaign by Kyiv targeting sites linked to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, which it accuses of supplying the Russian military. Two further Wildberries facilities, in St Petersburg and the Tver region, were also confirmed hit, while a separate site destroyed in the Samara region days earlier was confirmed on Tuesday to have been completely razed along with its stored goods. Moscow denies its Wildberries depots have any military role, and the strikes form part of the ongoing exchange of long-range attacks between the two sides.

The Moscow-area strike hit an industrial site in Chekhov, about 69km south of the Kremlin, sparking a fire and damaging an electrical substation and administration building; seven of the ten injured were in a moderate condition and one seriously hurt. Russia said it shot down 320 drones overnight. In Ukraine, Russian strikes killed at least four people, including an 89-year-old woman and two young girls in Mykolaiv, and a woman and two girls in Sumy, with further casualties and damage reported in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi and Dnipro. The exchanges followed a drone strike on a crowded beach in Russia's Krasnodar region a day earlier, which killed seven and injured 58, with Ukraine yet to comment on that incident.
