Summary
Seven workers were killed and 24 wounded after a Ukrainian drone strike hit a Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk in Russia's Tambov region, according to regional authorities.
More than 370 drones were launched toward Moscow overnight, with Mayor Sergei Sobyanin saying air defenses destroyed 64 on approach and mostly neutralized the attack.
The strikes extended Ukraine's campaign against Russian logistics and fuel infrastructure, with earlier reports also citing fires at an oil depot in Noginsk and another Wildberries site in Elektrostal.
The pressure comes as Russia tightens domestic controls before September's parliamentary election, detaining blogger Ilya Remeslo and fining anti-war politician Boris Nadezhdin.
