- Three drones hit the roof of the warehouse, leading to a fire, but most merchandise was not damaged.

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.
乌克兰最新远程无人机攻击后，俄罗斯零售巨头仓库失火
乌克兰的远程无人机袭击了位于乌拉尔山脉的俄罗斯最大在线零售商的一个仓库，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，其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，大部分商品没有受损，这与最近几周被乌克兰袭击并烧毁的其他十多个Wildberries仓库不同。
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人从仓库中被疏散，未报告任何伤亡。
