Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries, Moscow's answer to Amazon, said on Friday that three more of its warehouses had been attacked by Ukraine overnight, part of a widening campaign by Kyiv to damage Russia's economy and logistics chains.
A video from the scene of the attacks in St. Petersburg and nearby showed two giant plumes of thick smoke rising into the sky.
Tatyana Kim, Wildberries' founder and Russia's wealthiest woman, said the latest attacks had targeted warehouses in St. Petersburg, in the surrounding Leningrad region and in Simferopol, the main city in Russian-annexed Crimea.
"We managed to save some of the premises and goods. I would like to thank our staff, our heroes – a swift evacuation was carried out at all warehouses," Kim said in a statement. "According to preliminary reports, there were no casualties."
"All of our efforts are now focused on redistributing goods across our warehouses to ensure more efficient stock turnover and the economic stability of our partners," she said.
