A Ukrainian drone strike on an industrial zone outside the Russian capital killed five people and injured six others, as Kyiv intensifies long-range aerial attacks deep inside Russian territory
In recent weeks, Ukraine has conducted long-range strikes targeting civilian infrastructure in Russia, attacking warehouses belonging to the Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries.
Ukraine often fires hundreds of drones into Russia each night, in retaliation for Russia launching hundreds of its own drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian towns and cities.
Moscow’s regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said early Tuesday that several fires broke out following a drone strike in the Novoselki industrial zone outside the Russian capital.
‘According to preliminary information, five people were killed and a further six wounded,’ he said on Telegram.
Drones also damaged a warehouse near Krasny Bor in northwestern Russia, wounding one person, according to Leningrad regional governor Aleksandr Drozdenko.
Wildberries said that a fire broke out at its Krasny Bor logistics facility as a result of the attack. Footage from the attack showed at least one drone careering into the site, before exploding.
The building was later seen engulfed in flames as smoke poured out of the top.
