In the night of August 5, an event occurred in the Tula region of Russia that attracted the attention of both local residents and federal media. Towards dawn, a massive fire broke out at the territory of a logistics hub of the company Wildberries in one of the settlements of the region. Firefighting operations are ongoing, and the causes of the fire remain a subject of discussion.

### Timeline of events

According to information published in Russian Telegram channels and OSINT publications, a missile danger was declared for the Tula region at approximately 00:34 Kyiv time. This alert lasted for slightly more than two hours. However, in addition to the threat of missile strikes, the region was also at risk of drone attacks. The danger from drones persisted from the evening and continued until 04:56 in the morning.

### Fire in Alekino

At approximately 03:30, footage capturing intense flames and thick smoke over the warehouse territory began to spread massively on social media. As later turned out, the fire engulfed the Wildberries logistics center in the settlement of Alekino. The video recordings show how tongues of flame engulf the building, while a column of smoke rises high into the sky, illuminating the surroundings with bright orange light.

### Authorities' response and uncertainty of causes

Local authorities have not yet provided official comments regarding the causes of the fire. It is unclear whether the warehouse was attacked by drones or missiles, or if the fire occurred for other reasons. The lack of official information creates grounds for various assumptions and discussions among the population.

### Situation in other regions

Towards dawn, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, reported that air defense forces allegedly shot down 10 drones flying towards the Russian capital. This indicates that the night events were not limited to the Tula region alone.

Furthermore, footage appeared in OSINT publications suggesting that Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan) might also be under attack. What exactly was hit in this city remains unclear. The situation remains tense, and further developments may shed light on the scale and nature of the incidents that occurred.

### Conclusions

The night attack on the Wildberries warehouse in the Tula region has become one of the key events of the last few hours. The massive fire, uncertainty of causes, and lack of official comments create an atmosphere of tension. For now, we must wait for further clarifications from the authorities and new data on the situation in other regions of Russia.
