“A drone attack set ablaze an energy facility and warehouses in Russia’s Volgograd ​region on Friday, injuring five, the regional governor, Andrei ‌Bocharov, said, but stopped short of giving details of the facilities. The region is home to a Lukoil-owned oil refinery. Five ​people are seeking medical help after the ​attacks, Bocharov added on Telegram. Top online retailer Wildberries said ⁠in a Telegram statement that one of ​its logistic hubs in the city of Volgograd caught ​fire following the attack, but there were no injuries. In the neighbouring southern region of Rostov, a woman was injured ​after a drone attack in the town of ​Gukovo, regional governor Yuri Slyusar said on the messaging app.” (07/30/26)
