Overview
- On Wednesday, Ukrainian drones and missiles hit Wildberries logistics hubs in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk and an oil depot in Armavir, causing large fires, evacuations and multiple injuries, company and regional officials said.
- Russian regional authorities reported at least one death, opened a criminal terrorism case over the strikes and promised a 'tough and proportionate' response, according to state media and local governors.
- Ukraine's General Staff said its forces also struck a MiG‑29 fighter and a Pantsir‑S1 air‑defence system at Khalino airfield in Kursk Oblast as part of coordinated deep strikes on logistics and military nodes.
- Occupied Crimea experienced power cuts after reported strikes on electric substations in Masandra and Yalta, producing blackouts and disrupting basic services for civilians, local monitoring channels and officials reported.
- Analysts and officials say the growing pattern of reciprocal mass drone barrages is depleting interceptors, straining air defences and helping drive recent changes in Ukrainian military leadership and doctrine toward long‑range unmanned operations.
