Russia says Ukrainian drone attack kills seven

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

Ukraine has been striking a range of targets in Russia, which Kyiv says is fair retribution for Moscow's more than four years of attacks 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.

"The fire that broke out at the facility in Tambov region has been contained", while firefighters are still working in Elektrostal, the company said.

More than 370 drones were launched toward the Moscow region overnight, the Russian capital's mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.

"Most were neutralised by air defence forces at distant approaches," he said on the state-backed MAX platform.

He added: "64 enemy UAVs were destroyed on approach to Moscow."

Ukrainian officials said ⁠Russia attacked two Ukrainian Black Seaport cities yesterday, killing three people.

A Russian drone attack on port infrastructure at the southern city of Mykolaiv damaged three civilian foreign-flagged vessels, regional prosecutors said.

One of the strikes killed two Ukrainians on board a foreign vessel, they added.

Another man was killed in a Russian attack on Odesa, Ukraine's biggest seaport, local officials said.

Odesa Regional Governor Oleh Kiper said a later Russian strike hit a Marshall Islands-flagged vessel in one of the ‌Odesa region ports, triggering ⁠a fire and injuring four of its 17 crew members.

The entire crew was evacuated, Mr Kiper said on Telegram.

US-led diplomatic efforts to end the fighting have stalled in recent months, as Washington has shifted focus to its conflict with Iran.
