A Ukrainian attack on Wildberries warehouses in Elektrostal and an oil depot in Noginsk killed one person and injured 61 others.
Nine of the injured are in serious condition, and 31 are in moderate condition.
Most were diagnosed with shrapnel and blast injuries, traumatic brain injuries, fractures, burns, and smoke inhalation.
The strikes triggered fires that blanketed parts of the Moscow region in smoke visible even from an airplane.
Preliminary estimates put the damage at more than 50 billion rubles, and up to 15 percent of all Wildberries warehouse space may have been affected.
Merchants who sell on Wildberries say they have lost millions of rubles and worry about whether the company will compensate them.
The independent journalism cooperative Bereg traveled to Elektrostal to see how the city is coping with the aftermath.
Meduza is publishing the report in full.
