Russia and Ukraine engaged in mutual drone attacks on Tuesday, leaving five people dead on each side.
Ukraine carried out a drone attack in areas surrounding the Russian capital, Moscow. Moscow region governor Andrey Vorobyov said that five people were killed and 10 others injured when Ukrainian drones crashed in an industrial zone in the Chekhov district on Tuesday morning.
In this situation, Ukraine is launching attacks targeting the warehouses of Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retail company. In the past 18 days, 15 warehouses of the company have been attacked, and 13 of them caught fire. The Russian Defense Ministry also said that it shot down 320 Ukrainian drones in a single night.
Similarly, 5 civilians were killed in Russian airstrikes carried out in Ukraine. The United Nations has said that more than 16,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since the war began in 2022. Most of these deaths have occurred in areas under the control of the Ukrainian government.
Russia has also been carrying out attacks on Ukraine’s ports and military infrastructure. Russian forces attacked ships carrying military supplies and warehouses in the ports of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region, Mykolaiv, and Pivdennyi.
In the war between the two countries that has been ongoing for more than the past four years, both sides are now carrying out intense attacks on commercial ships in the Black Sea region, raising the risk of a renewed threat to global food security.
Following drone attacks on two Turkish-owned cargo ships that had departed from Russia’s Novorossiysk port in the Black Sea, Turkey has urged that the safety of shipping in the Black Sea be ensured.
