Moscow drone strike kills 5, wounds 10, governor says

Moscow regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said a drone strike on the Novoselki industrial zone outside the Russian capital killed five people and wounded 10 others, according to preliminary information.

Vorobyov said several fires broke out after the strike early Tuesday. The attack came as Moscow and Kyiv traded overnight strikes.

In northwestern Russia, Leningrad regional governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said drones damaged a warehouse near Krasny Bor and wounded one person. Wildberries said a fire broke out at its Krasny Bor logistics facility as a result of the attack.

Regional governor Vitaly Korolyov said another Wildberries warehouse was targeted by a Ukrainian drone attack in the rural area of Emmaus, about 180 kilometres northwest of Moscow.

In Ukraine, Oleg Grygorov, head of the Sumy regional military administration, said Russian guided aerial bomb strikes on Sumy killed two children and an elderly woman overnight. He said the girls were aged five and 10, and that six guided aerial bombs struck civilian infrastructure, including residential and non-residential buildings.

Georgy Reshetilov, head of the Mykolaiv regional military administration, said another attack on the southern port city killed an 89-year-old woman.

Kyiv's air force said Russia launched 136 drones at Ukraine overnight, 117 of which were shot down or intercepted.

Russia launched its full-scale offensive against Ukraine in February 2022. Ukraine has carried out long-range strikes in Russia, including recent attacks on warehouses belonging to Wildberries.
