Several killed in attacks on Ukraine as Kyiv hits Russian e-commerce giant

What the report says

Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least six people and wounded others, according to local and regional officials cited by Al Jazeera on August 7, 2026, as the war’s focus increasingly shifts toward energy and commercial infrastructure. The reported deaths came in Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Kharkiv and Donetsk, with strikes also affecting settlements in those regions and in Russian-controlled Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was meanwhile on his first official visit to Serbia, where he said he planned to discuss trade, ties with the European Union and broader cooperation.

Al Jazeera also reported that Ukraine continued its campaign against Wildberries, Russia’s large e-commerce company, with drones striking a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, far from the front line. The company said the site had been evacuated and that the fire was contained. Ukraine says Wildberries supports Russia’s war effort; Moscow and the company reject that claim. The report said Kyiv has targeted at least 20 Wildberries sites since mid-July, causing fires, destruction and casualties.

The broader exchange reflects a sustained effort by both sides to weaken the other’s economic and energy systems ahead of winter. Al Jazeera said Ukraine has struck Russian refineries, depots and airfields, while Russia has hit Ukrainian oil and gas facilities, cargo vessels and fuel storage sites. The pattern highlights how infrastructure across a wide geographic area has become a central battlefield in the conflict.
