Five others were killed in the Rostov region, according to its governor, Yury Slyusar. Ukraine said it had been targeting a factory that produced rocket fuel.

Ukrainian forces have repeatedly struck warehouses belonging to Russia’s largest online retailer in an attempt to disrupt the country’s consumer economy. Last week, Ukraine hit at least two warehouses, accusing the company of handling military goods and calling its locations military-linked “logistics centers.” Ukraine has attacked approximately 20 Wildberries warehouses since July 18.

Wildberries and Moscow have both denied that these warehouses are affiliated with the military.

In over four years since the war’s start, Ukraine has worked to rely less on Western aid—something President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been very vocal about in recent months, especially as he decried a “critical shortage of air defense missiles,” including the U.S.-made Patriot missiles that have been integral in intercepting and destroying Russian drones.

The plant, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, posted about the incident on Telegram, sharing that 13 employees were injured.

Russian attacks also sparked fires throughout Kyiv, wounding six people. In total, at least seven people were killed and 51 injured in Russian strikes over the weekend, according to casualty figures reported by regional Ukrainian authorities.
