Ukraine drone attack kills seven, wounds 24 in Russia: official

A Ukrainian drone attack on a logistics centre in western Russia killed seven people and wounded 24, the regional governor said on Saturday, as the Moscow region was again targeted by a wave of drones.

Ukraine has been striking a range of targets in Russia, which Kiev says is fair retribution for Moscow’s more than four-year barrages against its territory.

“Seven night-shift employees were killed when enemy UAVs hit a Wildberries logistics centre,” Governor of the Tambov region Evgeny Pervyshov said.

“According to preliminary information, 24 people were wounded” in the attack that took place in the town of Kotovsk, he added.

Russian firm Wildberries said in a statement that its logistics complexes in Kotovsk and Elektrostal, in the Moscow region, came under attack.
