Drone Attack Ignites Blaze at Energy Plant in Russia’s Volgograd, Governor Says

Local authorities said the attack set off fires at a warehouse and energy facility, with five people injured and smoke visible over the city.

  • On Friday, a drone attack struck an energy facility and a Wildberries warehouse in Volgograd, injuring five people, according to Governor Andrei Bocharov.
  • Ukraine says its strikes are "long-range sanctions" designed to sap Moscow's war-fighting capacity and force an end to the 4-1/2-year conflict.
  • Russia's Defense Ministry intercepted 371 drones between Thursday night and Friday morning, while NASA's FIRMS system detected fires at a Lukoil-operated refinery and strikes destroyed 10% of Wildberries' storage capacity.
  • In the Rostov region, Governor Yuri Slyusar reported a woman injured in Gukovo, while Wildberries paid support to nearly 100,000 sellers and Ozon evacuated a warehouse in Tatarstan.
  • Drone strikes damaged around a dozen Wildberries warehouses over two weeks, destroying an estimated 10% of storage capacity; Ukraine accuses Wildberries of supplying military parts, though the company denies the allegations.
