Ukrainian Drones Strike Oil Depot near Moscow

A massive Ukrainian drone attack killed at least seven people and injured dozens in Russia. The most serious incident occurred in the city of Kotovsk in the Tambov region, where drones struck a warehouse belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer.

According to the regional governor, seven night-shift employees were killed and another 25 people were injured. Russian authorities claim air defenses shot down 28 drones before they reached their targets, thereby allegedly preventing even greater civilian casualties.

Another attack struck the Moscow region, where debris from a downed drone sparked a fire at an oil storage facility in the city of Noginsk.

Two people were injured in the incident, and a nearby maternity hospital was evacuated as a precaution. Russian authorities have not yet specified the extent of the damage to the energy facility.
