Long-range strikes between Russia and Ukraine killed at least nine people on 3-4 August 2026, five in Russia and four in Ukraine. Two warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, were hit by drones; Kyiv alleges the firm handles dual-use goods. The company's response, announced Monday, was to ban smartphones from its sites, permitting staff to carry only handsets without cameras so that no images could help Ukraine map nearby air defences.
