Seven deaths and 25 injuries occurred at a warehouse in the city of Tambov, roughly 295 miles (475km) south-east of Moscow. One death and 37 injuries occurred at another Wildberries warehouse in Elektrostal in the Moscow region.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attacks had struck “major logistics facilities” which had been used to “supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment”.

He added that Ukraine had also struck targets in the Sea of Azov, the Black Sea, and Russian-annexed Crimea.

Images from the scene of one of the warehouse strikes showed flames and huge plumes of black smoke rising from a vast logistics building, with dozens of workers running into a car park area.
