Eight civilians lay dead(躺卧死亡). More than 80 were injured. Columns of black smoke billowed(滚滚升起) from the wreckage(残骸). On July 18th Ukrainian drones(无人机) hit two giant warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer(零售商), in Moscow and Tambov, some 475km south-east of the capital. The bombs are thought to have destroyed some 150bn roubles(卢布) ($1.9bn) worth of consumer goods. Four days later Ukraine bombed two more warehouses in south-west Russia. One woman was killed.
八名平民死亡，八十多人受伤。黑色烟柱从废墟中滚滚升起。7月18日，乌克兰无人机袭击了俄罗斯最大在线零售商Wildberries位于莫斯科和坦波夫的两座巨型仓库，坦波夫位于首都东南约475公里处。据信，这些炸弹摧毁了价值约1500亿卢布（19亿美元）的消费品。四天后，乌克兰又轰炸了俄罗斯西南部的两座仓库，一名妇女丧生。
Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, said that soldiers and volunteers use Wildberries to buy military-related goods such as drone components(部件) and bulletproof vests(防弹背心). But he also signalled(发出信号) revenge. The attacks, he said, were a “response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure(基础设施) and on our cities and communities”. They followed strikes on facilities(设施) belonging to Nova Poshta, a Ukrainian postal and logistics company, which Russia says are also used for military purposes.
乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示，士兵和志愿者使用Wildberries购买无人机部件和防弹背心等军用物资。但他也发出了报复信号。他说，这些袭击是“对俄罗斯袭击我们民用基础设施、城市和社区的回应”。此前，俄罗斯袭击了乌克兰邮政物流公司Nova Poshta的设施，俄方称这些设施也被用于军事目的。
Ukraine’s attacks on refineries(炼油厂), which have caused fuel shortages across the country, were already bringing the war home(将战争带入本土). The latest strikes further undermine(削弱) the notion(观念) that the fighting will stay confined to the battlefield in Ukraine and drive home(强调，使明白) the Russian authorities’ failure to defend their own people. “Those black columns of smoke have become part of everyday life,” says one Muscovite(莫斯科人). Wildberries has millions of customers. Hundreds of thousands of businesses use it to sell everything from socks to smartphones (not to mention body armour(防弹衣) and fibre-optic cable(光纤电缆)). “The attacks on Wildberries warehouses have affected nearly 100% of the population in one way or another(以某种方式): some physically, some financially, and others psychologically(心理上地),” says Elena Panfilova, a Russian political scientist.
乌克兰对炼油厂的袭击已导致全国燃料短缺，将战争带入本土。最新的袭击进一步削弱了“战斗将仅限于乌克兰战场”的观念，并凸显了俄罗斯当局未能保护本国人民。“那些黑色烟柱已成为日常生活的一部分，”一位莫斯科市民说。Wildberries拥有数百万客户，数十万家企业用它销售从袜子到智能手机（更不用说防弹衣和光纤电缆）的各种商品。“对Wildberries仓库的袭击几乎以某种方式影响了100%的人口：有些是身体上，有些是经济上，还有些是心理上，”俄罗斯政治学家埃琳娜·潘菲洛娃说。
Damn and blast
