President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine's overnight long-range drone strikes targeted key Russian logistics facilities used to support the production of military drones and navigation equipment, including warehouses operated by Russia's largest online marketplace, Wildberries.
According to Zelensky, the facilities were involved in supplying sanctioned components used in the manufacture of Russian drones and navigation systems. He said Ukrainian long-range drones flew roughly 500 km and 700 km from the frontline to reach the targets.
The president also confirmed strikes on an oil depot near Moscow, as well as attacks on targets in Russian-occupied territories, Crimea, and in the Black and Azov seas. He published footage showing the aftermath of the overnight operation.
Overnight, drones struck a Wildberries logistics center in Elektrostal, in Russia's Moscow region, where authorities reported 24 people injured. An oil depot in Noginsk, used to store and distribute gasoline, diesel fuel and liquefied gas, was also hit. In Kotovsk, Tambov region, another Wildberries sorting center caught fire following the attack, with Russian officials reporting seven deaths and dozens of injuries.
