bbc.com — On Friday night, Ukrainian drones launched attacks on Wildberries marketplace warehouses located near St. Petersburg, in the Leningrad region, and in Crimea. According to the company, operations at the logistics centers in Shushary and the Utkina Zavod industrial zone have been suspended. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov confirmed that a facility on Moskovskoye Highway had been struck.
Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko reported that a fire broke out at warehouses in the village of Novosaratovka, leaving three people injured in moderate condition. The same night, a warehouse at the Severnaya poultry farm in the settlement of Sinyavino was struck, though no casualties were reported there. Meanwhile, Wildberries confirmed the evacuation of its sorting center in Simferopol due to security concerns.
Head of the Tver region Vitaly Korolev also reported a fire in an administrative building at a logistics center on the outskirts of Tver, which has since been extinguished. CEO Tatyana Kim noted that some goods were saved, and according to preliminary information, there are no fatalities at the company's warehouses, although official data regarding injuries remain conflicting.
This marks the fourth attack on Wildberries warehouses in recent times. Over the past few days, centers in Tambov, Moscow, Krasnodar, and Stavropol have also been targeted by drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considers these facilities legitimate military targets, claiming that they store equipment and drone components intended for the Russian army.
