Ukraine has launched another long-range drone strike deep inside Russian territory, hitting a major Wildberries warehouse more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The attack is part of Kyiv's growing campaign targeting Russia's logistics infrastructure. According to reports, nearly 20 Wildberries facilities have been struck since mid-July.

Ukraine says the strikes are aimed at increasing the cost of Russia's war effort, while Moscow accuses Kyiv of targeting civilian infrastructure. At the same time, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian warehouses, Black Sea ports, and critical export infrastructure, raising concerns over global food supplies and escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Russia launched a devastating overnight ballistic missile attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least nine people and injuring 28 others, including children, according to Ukrainian officials. Multiple explosions rocked the city as missiles struck several districts, leaving damaged buildings, destroyed ambulances, and emergency responders searching through the rubble for survivors.

The strike comes amid an intensifying phase of the Russia-Ukraine war, with both sides increasingly targeting military and energy infrastructure. Ukrainian officials say the country's air defense systems are struggling to intercept Russia's growing use of ballistic missiles, while Kyiv continues to appeal for more Western air defense support.

Ukraine's Acting Defence Minister has outlined Kyiv's evolving military strategy against Russia, stressing that Ukraine cannot match Russia "punch for punch" and must instead rely on asymmetric warfare.

He also emphasized the importance of logistics, battlefield resource management, and expanding domestic defence production, including Patriot interceptor missiles.

The acting minister further expressed confidence that relations between Kyiv and Washington will develop into a long-term strategic partnership, with Ukraine contributing valuable experience from modern warfare.

Tehran also urged the UN Security Council, the European Union, and the international community to condemn the alleged attack.
Iranian officials reiterated that the country has not directly participated in the Russia-Ukraine war and warned that it would defend its national interests under international law. Tehran also held Kyiv and its supporters responsible for any further escalation in regional tensions.
