Nine people were killed and more than 60 injured in Ukrainian drone strikes that targeted Russian infrastructure including warehouses operated by the country’s biggest e-commerce company, Wildberries, Russian officials said.
The attacks, which took place on the night of 17-18 July, struck two sprawling logistics complexes operated by Wildberries, one in the town of Kotovsk in the Tambov region, about 220 miles from the Ukraine border, and another in the city of Elektrostal, about 30 miles east of Moscow, officials said.
Wildberries founder and chief executive Tatyana Kim said on Saturday morning that the fire at the Kotovsk facility had been put out.

Ukrainian strikes also affected other Russian infrastructure, including an oil depot in the city of Noginsk, just north of Elektrostal, said Andrei Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region.
