Ukrainian long-range drones hit a warehouse of Russia’s biggest online retailer in the Ural Mountains, more than 2,000 kilometers from the two countries’ border, local officials and the company said Friday.
Wildberries said its warehouse in Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth-largest city, was set ablaze by the attack. Most merchandise wasn’t damaged, the company said, unlike at some of the more than a dozen other Wildberries depots struck by Ukraine in recent weeks that have burned down.
The regional governor, Denis Pasler, said three drones hit the warehouse’s roof. Artyom Zhoga, the Kremlin’s representative in the region, said that 800 people were evacuated from the warehouse and nobody was hurt.
乌克兰最新的远程无人机攻击导致俄罗斯零售巨头仓库起火
乌克兰的远程无人机袭击了俄罗斯最大的在线零售商Wildberries在乌拉尔山脉的一个仓库，距离两国边界超过2000公里，当地官员和该公司周五表示。
Wildberries表示，位于俄罗斯第四大城市叶卡捷琳堡的仓库因袭击而起火。该公司称，大部分商品未受损，这与最近几周乌克兰袭击的其他十多个Wildberries仓库的情况不同，那些仓库已被烧毁。
地区州长德尼斯·帕斯勒表示，三架无人机击中了仓库的屋顶。克里姆林宫在该地区的代表阿尔乔姆·兹霍加表示，800人从仓库中撤离，且没有人受伤。
