Ukrainian drone attacks in the region around Moscow killed five people and wounded ten on Tuesday morning, according to regional governor Andrei Vorobyov. The most severe damage was in the Chekhov municipal district, where fires broke out at the Novoselki industrial zone.
Russian authorities also reported that air defenses shot down 320 Ukrainian drones overnight. Drone debris caused partial damage to a Wildberries warehouse in the Tver region, while another Wildberries facility in the Leningrad region caught fire.
In Ukraine, Russian glide bomb strikes killed three people in the Sumy region, including two children, said regional military administration head Oleh Hryhorov. An 89-year-old woman died and seven were wounded in Mykolaiv, and a civilian infrastructure strike in Odesa region wounded two, according to Oleh Kiper.
The Russian defense ministry said its forces struck ports and vessels, claiming a bulk carrier was damaged in Mykolaiv and another hit in Pivdennyi. Two more bulk carriers were reportedly damaged at sea south of Odesa. Ukraine has not commented on these specific claims.
On Monday, a drone strike on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka killed seven, including three children, and wounded 58, Krasnodar authorities said. Ukraine did not comment. The UN says over 16,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion.
