Drone Attacks Hit Russian Wildberries Warehouses in South
Wildberries warehouses in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk hit by new drone attacks
Warehouses operated by Russia's largest online retailer Wildberries came under drone attack overnight in the southern Russian cities of Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk, according to reports from Public Radio of Armenia. The strikes triggered fires at both logistics centers, injured at least 15 people, and disrupted operations. Company founder Tatyana Kim confirmed the attacks and said the company was coordinating with emergency services. In Krasnodar, ten people were injured when drone debris hit the warehouse and nearby residential buildings. In Nevinnomyssk, five people sought medical care following another warehouse fire, with local authorities declaring a localized state of emergency. Russia's Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on terrorism charges. The attacks follow a July 18 strike on Wildberries facilities near Moscow and in Tambov that killed at least eight workers. Ukraine claims the facilities store or distribute military drone components; Russia denies this.
