Ukrainian drones hit Wildberries warehouses, injuring 10 and triggering evacuations; authorities investigate damage and safety response.
Ukrainian drones struck Wildberries logistics hubs in Krasnodar and Stavropol overnight, injuring 10 people and forcing evacuations, regional officials and the company said.
Wildberries owner Tatyana Kim wrote on Telegram that workers were evacuated after the strikes, expressing distress over the attacks on employees and saying the company must continue its work for people. Russian media and the region’s governor reported the casualty figures.
Kiev has said the targeted warehouses were being used to supply components for Russian drones and navigation equipment. Analysts cited by the BBC previously said volunteers were using Wildberries’ site to purchase military-related items.
The strikes hit Wildberries facilities in Krasnodar and Stavropol and follow earlier attacks on warehouses in Tambov and Elektrostal that killed eight and injured 62, according to Russian reports. Official statements in the source attribute the strikes to Ukrainian efforts to disrupt logistics and the supply of dual-use components.
