Russian attack on Kyiv kills 15 people

JAKARTA - Russia's attack on Kyiv and surrounding areas killed 15 people and injured more than 50 others overnight.

"The rescue team continues to work in high-risk conditions, given the threat of further attacks from the enemy," the Ukrainian State Emergency Service said, quoted by CNN, Wednesday, August 5.

The attack on the warehouse and logistics facility in the Kyiv region comes days after Moscow said the wreckage of a Ukrainian drone fell on a busy beach in southern Russia, killing seven people.

As previously reported, five people were killed by a Ukrainian drone attack targeting an industrial area in the Moscow region, Russia.

The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday, August 4, stated that it had shot down 320 Ukrainian drones, including in the Moscow and Leningrad regions.

The governor of Leningrad, Aleksandr Drozdenko, said via a post on Telegram, 17 Ukrainian drones were shot down in his region.

"The damage was recorded in the Krasny Bor warehouse area," said Drozdenko, while mentioning that the facility owned by one of Russia's largest online retailers, Wildberries, was among the damaged buildings.

Other Wildberries facilities were also attacked in the Tver region, northwest of Moscow, according to the region's governor, Vitaly Korolev, via a post on Telegram.

Ukrainian drone attacks have recently targeted Wildberries' national storage and transportation network; according to Kyiv, the company facilitates the sale of military equipment - including drones - to the Russian army.
