Ukraine Launches Major Drone Attack on Russia, Targets Key Infrastructure Ukraine conducted one of its largest aerial assaults on Russia to date, launching hundreds of drones that targeted critical infrastructure, including warehouses and industrial facilities, according to reports. Russian authorities confirmed that air defense systems and electronic warfare units intercepted and neutralized over 800 drones overnight, with at least six fatalities reported. The attack marked a significant escalation in the ongoing air war between the two nations, as Ukraine increasingly focuses its efforts on striking deep within Russian territory. The assault primarily targeted the Moscow region, where many of Russia’s elite reside, with a particular focus on the e-commerce giant Wildberries. Russian officials stated that the attack damaged a 250,000-square-meter warehouse, which Ukraine claims is part of a logistics network supplying the Russian military. Wildberries has been a frequent target in recent months, with Ukrainian forces reportedly striking seven of its ten largest logistics centers. The company recently announced plans to expand its operations to Kazakhstan, raising concerns about its role in Russia’s war effort. The attack also hit a defense-industrial complex in Rostov region, where a facility producing solid rocket propellant for Russian weapons was struck. At least five people were killed in Rostov, and an 83-year-old man was killed in another Moscow region incident. Russian Defense Ministry data indicated that drones were intercepted across 17 regions, with the southern and western areas being the most affected. In response, Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine, targeting Kyiv with a mix of missiles and drones.#russia #ukraine #volodymyr_zelensky #wildberries #rostov_region
