Ukraine targeted a warehouse belonging to Russia’s largest retailer, Wildberries, and an oil refinery overnight, while Moscow said its forces struck a ship carrying military cargo in the Black Sea.
Wildberries said a warehouse in the southern Russian city of Volgograd caught fire following a drone attack.
Regional Governor Andrei Bocharov said the strike sparked fires at warehouses and an oil refinery, injuring five people. Meanwhile, Ukraine's military confirmed it had hit the Volgograd Oil Refinery overnight, causing a fire at the facility.
The refinery has a capacity of about 15 million tonnes of oil a year, Ukraine's military said in a statement on Telegram.
Separately, Ukraine's SBU security service said it had struck infrastructure at the Russian port of Taman, on the Kerch Strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Russia's Defence Ministry, meanwhile, said it had attacked a vessel carrying military cargo near Ukraine's port of Odesa.
Elsewhere, Russia's second-largest e-commerce company, Ozon, said it had been forced to evacuate its warehouse in the town of Zelenodolsk in the Republic of Tatarstan due to a Ukrainian drone alert.
Ukraine has attacked at least a dozen warehouses belonging to Ozon's main rival, Wildberries, since 18 July in a bid to disrupt the company's operations.
Ozon warned on Thursday of potential risks to its own infrastructure from drone attacks.
Ozon and Wildberries warehouses are located next to each other in many areas, including Zelenodolsk, and it was unclear on Friday which warehouse Ukraine was targeting.
Ukrainian drone forces commander Robert Brovdi posted a cryptic message on Telegram on Friday, however, appearing to refer to the e-commerce retailer, saying that "the ozone concentration exceeds the critical norm."
