Ukrainian Drones Hit Wildberries Warehouse in Russia’s Vladimir Region

Vladimir: A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at a Wildberries logistics center in Russia's Vladimir region overnight, the country's largest online retailer said on Monday. Wildberries and Russ (RVB), the merged company that operates the marketplace, reported that an employee was injured in the attack.

According to Anadolu Agency, following the emergency alert, the employees were evacuated from the facility, and firefighters were working to extinguish the blaze. "The logistics facility in the Vladimir region caught fire as a result of the attack. People have been evacuated. Fire crews are working at the scene. According to preliminary information, there are no casualties," the company stated.

The company further revealed that it had rerouted logistics operations, with incoming deliveries and customer orders being managed through other facilities. This attack is part of a series of drone strikes on Wildberries logistics centers in recent weeks.

In a separate development, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that its forces carried out overnight drone strikes on Ukrainian transport infrastructure used by the Ukrainian military. The ministry claimed that the strikes targeted three cargo ships in the Black Sea carrying military cargo, as well as a cargo vessel in the port of Mykolaiv, which it alleged was delivering supplies for the Ukrainian armed forces.

Ukraine has not immediately commented on the Russian claims, and independent verification remains challenging due to the ongoing conflict.
