July 22 (UPI) -- Ukrainian drones hit logistics plants of Russian online retailer Wildberries for the third night in four days, injuring 15 workers at two facilities in the southwest of the country, the company's CEO and regional heads said Wednesday.
Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim said in an online post that warehousing in Krasnodar and the city of Nevinnomyssk in the Stavropol region further to the east came under attack, causing injuries and forcing an emergency evacuation of employees.
"Our people are our priority. I want to thank our team -- our heroes -- who carried out a swift evacuation. Unfortunately, preliminary reports indicate there are injuries.
"There are no words to describe the emotions stirred by attacks on ordinary people -- on our employees, on all of us -- who are simply doing their jobs. Yet, these situations highlight the most important thing: we must continue doing what we do for the benefit of the people," wrote Kim.
