Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Warehouses, Killing Five
Ukrainian long-range drones struck warehouses and logistics sites in Russia’s central regions overnight, killing at least five people, according to reports. The targets included facilities belonging to a major online retailer near Moscow. It was the latest in Kyiv’s campaign to carry the war deep into Russian territory.
Ukraine has increasingly used its growing fleet of long-range drones to hit refineries, arms plants and logistics hubs far behind the front, seeking to raise the cost of the war for Moscow and disrupt the supply lines feeding its army. The strikes come as Russia has intensified its own bombardment of Ukrainian cities, firing a record number of missiles in July. The casualty figure could not be independently verified. Each side is escalating its long-range attacks even as talk of negotiations stalls. Watch whether the deep strikes provoke fresh Russian retaliation.
