A drone fell on the roof of a store's warehouse in the village of Litvinovo in the Moscow region, causing a fire, and 46 people were evacuated from the building, according to the head of the Solnechnogorsk district, Konstantin Mikhalkov, and the state news agency TASS. Mikhalkov, writing on social media, said a cargo vehicle was also damaged. [ 1 , 2 ]
Mikhalkov said nine cars burned in the district and that two private houses and one more car were damaged. He added that no information about casualties from the Litvinovo incident had been received. Moscow region governor Andrei Vorobyov said the warehouse fire had already been extinguished, and that two people had died and nine had been injured in the drone attack in the region, without specifying where those casualties occurred. [ 2 ]
Kommersant noted that previous attacks on warehouse facilities in the Moscow region have had consequences of very different scale. A strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Elektrostal overnight on 18 July 2026 killed one person and injured more than 50, it said, while an attack on a Wildberries warehouse near Noginsk on 18 August 2026 produced a localized fire with preliminary reports of no casualties and minor damage. [ 2 ]
The documents do not say who launched the drones or how many were involved, and they give no figure for the total damage from the attack across the Moscow region beyond the casualties cited by the governor. [ 1 , 2 ]
Почему это важно
The strike is part of a pattern of drone attacks on warehouse facilities in the Moscow region, which Kommersant noted have ranged from localized fires to mass casualties. For readers beyond Russia, it illustrates how the war is reaching civilian and logistics infrastructure deep inside the country.
