The company confirmed that the logistics centre had been evacuated as a precaution but said the facility was undamaged and operations were expected to resume shortly.

Denis Pasler, the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, stated on Telegram that a drone attack had been repelled. Falling drone debris reportedly sparked a fire. People were evacuated, but there were no injuries or damage to commercial facilities or infrastructure.

In the southern Rostov region, Governor Yuri Slyusar described a massive overnight air attack, saying Russian forces had intercepted drones and missiles.

Slyusar reported that four men were injured in Rostov-on-Don and another person in the Krasny Sulin district. Residential buildings, warehouses and infrastructure were damaged, according to the governor.
