Ukrainian drones attack buildings in Russia. These buildings are big places called warehouses. They store many things for an online shopping company named Wildberries. The attacks happen in two places: near Moscow and in Tambov.
These attacks are called deadly. Drones are like small flying robots that carry things. Ukraine's leader says these warehouses are important places for Russia. He says they are "major logistics facilities." This means they are big centers for moving and keeping goods.
The leader also says these places help Russia get special parts. These parts are called sanctioned components. Sanctioned means other countries do not want Russia to have them. So, the drones attack these important buildings to stop Russia from getting these parts.
