Ukraine Strikes Russian E-commerce Hubs, Causing Chaos and Casualties

Ukrainian drone attacks disrupted operations at two major e-commerce warehouses in Russia's Tambov and Moscow regions on Saturday, leading to casualties and significant fires. Kiev claimed the targeted facilities were used to distribute components for Russian drones attacking Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. In Tambov, at least eight workers at a Wildberries warehouse, described as Russia's Amazon, were killed and over 50 injured, with eight in serious condition, according to local authorities. Governor Yevgeny Pervishov called the strike a "planned terrorist act against the civilian population," noting the drones carried shrapnel. Russian air defenses reported downing 379 drones overnight across two dozen regions and Crimea. In the Moscow region, one person died and 37 were injured in an attack that forced the evacuation of a maternity hospital and nearby residences. Wildberries confirmed the attacks, calling it a "terrible night" for the company. Fires at the Tambov warehouse were largely extinguished, while the blaze in the Moscow region continued.
