Ukrainian drone strikes have escalated, killing at least 10 people in Russia, including six civilians in the Samara region. The strikes targeted an Ozon warehouse and an industrial facility, marking a significant increase in cross-border attacks.
Samara Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev reported that the strikes caused injuries and damage, with the Novokuibyshevsk refinery also hit, leading to a fire. Ozon, Russia's second-largest online retailer, confirmed that operations at its logistics center in Chapayevsk were halted due to the attack.
In the southern region of Krasnodar, Governor Veniamin Kondratyev stated that two children were among the casualties in Yeysk, where a fire broke out at a port facility. Additionally, the Belgorod region reported two fatalities and 13 injuries from Ukrainian strikes.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have downed 457 Ukrainian drones overnight, indicating a significant escalation in the conflict as both sides ramp up attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that the strikes are part of a broader campaign against Russian economic infrastructure, aiming to undermine Moscow's war efforts.
The recent surge in violence follows a day of deadly Russian strikes in Ukraine, highlighting the ongoing and intensifying conflict between the two nations.
“The strike on Ozon is the first on the retailer after weeks of attacks on its rival Wildberries, part of Ukraine's campaign against economic infrastructure. Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 457 drones overnight, while a separate Russian attack on Kryvyi Rih killed 16 and wounded 130.”
