On the night of August 5, Russia's Tula region came under attack. By morning, a large fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in one of the settlements in the region, according to Russian Telegram channels and OSINT public pages.

According to posts by Governor Dmitry Milyaev, a missile danger alert was declared for the region at approximately 00:34 Kyiv time. It lasted for just over two hours.

However, it is important to note that Tula region was also under a drone threat. The danger had been in place since the evening and lasted until 04:56 am.

At approximately 03:30, footage began circulating widely across several OSINT public channels, showing a fire breaking out at one of the warehouses. As later became clear from the footage, a Wildberries logistics hub was on fire in the settlement of Aleksino.

Local authorities have not yet commented on the situation in any way. What exactly struck the warehouse — drones or missiles — remains unclear.

Toward morning, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that air defense forces had allegedly shot down 10 drones flying toward the Russian capital.

Additionally, footage is now emerging on OSINT public channels suggesting that Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan, Russia) is also under attack. What exactly has been hit remains unclear for now.
