A big fire broke out at a warehouse near Moscow. The fire started after a drone hit the building. People on the ground are watching as Ukraine prepares to launch even more drone strikes.
This comes at a time when the fighting between Russia and Ukraine is getting much worse. Just recently, Russia launched a huge attack on Ukraine. They used many missiles and about 168 drones. The main target of that attack was the Kyiv region, where the capital city is located.
In a different part of the conflict, a Russian village was hit by missiles. Reports say 10 people were killed in that attack. At the same time, the area near Moscow has seen a massive increase in drone activity, with officials reporting nearly 800 drones spotted in the region.
One of the warehouses hit near Moscow belonged to Wildberries, which is a major online shopping company. Photos from the scene show the scale of the destruction caused by the drone strikes.
Both sides are hitting each other harder than before. Ukraine is focusing its drone crews to keep pressure on Russian targets, while Russia continues to use its air power to strike across Ukrainian territory. There is no sign of the fighting slowing down.
