Ukrainian Drones Strike Volgograd Logistics Hub and Energy Facility, Killing At Least One

Ukrainian drones hit a Wildberries logistics hub and an energy facility in Russia’s Volgograd region, sparking a large fire and killing at least one person; authorities later reported a woman’s body recovered from rubble at a nearby building. Wildberries said there were no casualties at the hub, while a separate Rostov attack injured a woman. Ozon evacuated a warehouse in Tatarstan amid air alerts. Russia said it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones, as more Wildberries warehouses have been damaged in recent weeks, affecting thousands of small businesses and fueling ongoing tensions between Kyiv and the company.

Ukraine’s Flamingo Cruise Missile Scores a Deep-Strike Hit on Russian Plant

Ukraine’s domestically built FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles delivered their strongest performance yet, with 3 of 5 missiles hitting and damaging the Barrikady Federal Research and Production Center in Volgograd, deep inside Russia. The strike, aided by nap-of-the-earth flight and improved targeting, marks a major leap after earlier misses; the 1,150-kg warhead, 3,000+ km range, and carbon-fiber construction keep production in view, with Kyiv signaling mass production could begin by February and reach 200+ missiles per month by the end of 2026. OSINT analysis suggests planners shifted to river-adjacent targets to exploit radar gaps. The attack follows a string of less successful Flamingo launches and underscores Ukraine’s advancing long-range strike capabilities.
