Ukrainian drone attack injures three at Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg

A Ukrainian drone strike on a Wildberries warehouse near Saint Petersburg caused a fire that wounded at least three people, regional authorities reported early Friday. The attack, carried out by Ukrainian forces, damaged the storage facility and set it ablaze, prompting emergency crews to extinguish the blaze and evacuate injured workers.

This incident follows a series of drone strikes on Wildberries facilities that began on July 18. Kyiv has already targeted five warehouses, killing eight night‑shift employees in a Moscow‑area warehouse on Saturday and wounding dozens more across the country. The ongoing attacks have heightened security concerns for the Russian e‑commerce giant’s supply chain.

Wildberries has not yet issued a statement on the latest attack. Russian officials have condemned the strikes as violations of international law and have pledged to strengthen security measures at commercial sites. The incident underscores the escalating risk to civilian infrastructure amid the broader conflict.
