Ukrainian drones struck warehouses, an oil depot, and other targets across Russia overnight, killing at least seven night-shift workers and wounding 51 others, according to Russian officials. The attacks targeted logistics sites and energy infrastructure.

In Kotovsk, Tambov region, a drone hit a warehouse operated by Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer. Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov said seven night-shift workers died at the scene and 25 were injured. He claimed air defenses shot down 28 drones approaching the region.

A second Wildberries warehouse was hit in Elektrostal, east of Moscow, injuring 24 people, said Moscow regional Governor Andrei Vorobyov. Wildberries co-founder Tatyana Kim described it as a "terrible night."

In Noginsk, falling drone debris sparked a fire at an oil depot, injuring two people. A nearby maternity hospital and residential building were evacuated. The extent of damage to the oil facility was not immediately disclosed.

A drone also struck a residential building in Vladimir, east of Moscow, causing a brief fire. Governor Alexander Avdeyev said no one was injured.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said long-range strikes hit two "significant logistical facilities" used to supply sanctioned components for drone and navigation equipment production. He framed the attacks as retaliation for Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed air defense systems intercepted 379 Ukrainian drones overnight across 19 regions, as well as over annexed Crimea, the Sea of Azov, and the Black Sea.

Meanwhile, a Russian attack struck port infrastructure in Ukraine's Odesa region, killing one person and damaging a vessel flagged to Antigua and Barbuda. Three others were injured, said regional Governor Oleh Kiper.
