Ukrainian Drone Strike Kills 5 at Wildberries Warehouse Near Moscow as Attacks Spread to 3 Sites

Summary
Five people were killed and about 10 injured when a Ukrainian drone strike hit a Wildberries warehouse in Chekhov outside Moscow, the deadliest of three attacks on the retailer's sites on Monday.
Two other warehouses in St. Petersburg and Tver were also targeted without casualties, extending a campaign that also struck a Wildberries facility in Samara on Sunday.
Kyiv has hit multiple Wildberries sites since July 18, saying the warehouses help supply the Russian military; Moscow denies that and CEO Tatyana Kim called the strikes terrorism.
Ukraine has widened its drone strategy from oil refineries to major logistics hubs, with Zelensky branding the campaign "long-range sanctions" meant to bring the war back into Russia.
