- Ukraine attacked a Wildberries depot near Moscow, aiming the strike at Russia's biggest online retailer to damage both the economy and civilian morale, according to AP News.
- Bloomberg's headline on the same attack also notes a drone was downed in Romania, an angle the dominant economy-and-morale framing omits.
Why it matters: Wildberries is Russia's largest online retailer, so hitting its depot near Moscow puts pressure on a civilian-facing commercial network. Bloomberg's headline also flags a drone downed in Romania, showing the strike campaign is producing spillover into NATO-adjacent airspace beyond just the economic target.
