Twenty-five people injured in Ukrainian attack on warehouse in Russia’s Tambov Region
A Ukrainian drone strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Tambov Region killed seven night-shift workers and injured as many as 25 people, according to regional Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov. The attack, described by the governor as a deliberate act of terrorism against civilians, occurred in the early hours of July 18.
A Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse operated by the e-commerce company Wildberries in Russia's central Tambov Region left 25 people injured, according to regional Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov. The attack, which occurred in the early hours of July 18 in the town of Kotovsk, also killed seven night-shift workers, the governor said.

Both reports from TASS, the Russian state news agency, attribute the figures to Governor Pervyshov, who posted updates on the Max social media platform and his Telegram channel. The first report initially said 24 people were injured, while a subsequent update from the governor raised the number to 25. The reports also confirm that the strike targeted a Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk.

Attack on Wildberries logistics center in Tambov Region
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
