The US-Iran war has taken a break. In the meantime, Ukraine launched a terrible drone attack on Moscow, the capital city of Khas Russia. A huge warehouse of the country's largest online marketing firm 'Wildberries' caught fire in the late night attack. The warehouse was burnt to ashes. The fire engulfed the Coledino area in a huge plume of black smoke. According to the local administration, 6 people have died in the drone attack so far. Pictures of huge fire pits have spread on social media. Netizens are shocked to see this.
Moscow Governor Andrey Vorobyov said the drone attack took place in the early hours of Sunday. The worst hit was the Wildberry warehouse in Koledino, about 45 kilometers south of Moscow. Video footage showed thick black smoke billowing from the warehouse, with flames burning in various parts of the complex. According to international media reports, another logistics center located in Domodedovo near Moscow airport was also damaged in the drone attack.
The largest Wildberries logistics hub in all of Russia has been finally destroyed.

According to an Associated Press report, Ukraine carried out a large number of drone strikes overnight. The Russian Defense Ministry said that the army shot down 822 Ukrainian drones across the country. Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that more than 600 drones had descended on the capital. The question is, instead of attacking a military base, is Ukraine hitting online marketing company WildBerries?
Ukraine claims the company's logistics or cargo transportation and storage centers are being used to transport military goods, including drone-related parts and other equipment. According to a BBC report, Russia has denied the allegations.
