Wildberries, the largest online retailer in Russia, has been hit by a Ukrainian airstrike that targeted one of its warehouses. This incident marks the second time in just over a month, according to reports from Al Jazeera and The Independent.

The raid was carried out using long-range drones and destroyed an important storage facility for the company, worsening the already tense relations between the two countries. The campaign of Ukrainian attacks is intensifying, targeting strategic infrastructure.

Meanwhile, London has updated its security plans in response to perceived threats from Russia and Iran. Bloomberg reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a military escalation in Ukraine, with peace talks currently at a standstill.

Reports indicate that Russian forces may intensify bombardments on Kyiv and other Ukrainian infrastructure. The Kremlin has rejected proposals for a safe zone in contested regions, further complicating the situation.

Amid rising tensions, CIA chief Ratcliffe reportedly held talks in Moscow, urging Putin to refrain from attacks against NATO countries, according to the Wall Street Journal.
