Ukrainian drone strikes hit several regions along the Volga River in Russia overnight, according to local officials. The attacks resulted in the deaths of at least two people and caused significant damage to infrastructure, including a warehouse operated by Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer. The facility in the Samara region, located approximately 800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was among the targets hit during the operation.

Russian authorities have provided varying accounts of the scale of the attack. The Russian Defence Ministry reported that its air defense systems successfully downed 635 Ukrainian drones throughout the night. While the ministry emphasizes the high number of interceptions, the reports from regional officials confirm that several drones successfully bypassed these defenses to strike civilian and commercial infrastructure. The strike on the Wildberries warehouse highlights the increasing reach of Ukrainian drone operations, which are now targeting logistics hubs deep within Russian territory. At this time, Ukrainian officials have not issued a detailed statement regarding the specific objectives or the full scope of the overnight drone campaign.
