At least five people were killed and 10 more injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse close to Moscow overnight on Tuesday, the region’s governor has said.<\/p>\n
The official did not specify what had been targeted but Ukraine has been carrying out strikes on facilities operated by Wildberries in recent weeks, often dubbed the “Russian Amazon”.<\/p>\n
Kyiv says the depots are used to supply the Russian military, which Moscow denies.<\/p>\n
Local officials also said Wildberries warehouses were targeted in the St Petersburg and Tver regions overnight.<\/p>\n
Russia also launched strikes against parts of Ukraine, killing at least four and injuring several people.<\/p>\n
Russia’s defence ministry said it had intercepted and destroyed 320 drones overnight.<\/p>\n
Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov said an industrial site in Novoselki, Chekhov – about 69km (43 miles) south of the Kremlin – was attacked, triggering a fire at a warehouse.<\/p>\n
He wrote on Telegram that seven of the 10 people injured were in a moderate condition, with one in a serious condition.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian media reported that the site of the Moscow strike was linked to Wildberries.<\/p>\n
The company has not commented publicly but confirmed its facility in St Petersburg was hit.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said an 89-year-old woman was killed and two girls, aged two and 12, were among seven injured in a Russian strike on the southern port city of Mykolaiv overnight.<\/p>\n
A woman and two girls, aged five and 10, were killed in a strike on a residential area in Sumy, and another four people were injured, it said.<\/p>\n
Russian strikes also injured two people in the city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, while a food warehouse was set on fire in Dnipro, according to the State Emergency Service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At least five people were killed and 10 more injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":154929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,31195,49712,31536,3293,50128,50127,3297,50126],"class_list":["post-154928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-canada","tag-drone-strike","tag-moscow","tag-moscow-region","tag-russia","tag-russian-strike","tag-state-emergency-service","tag-ukraine","tag-wildberries"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/154929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
