A Ukrainian drone attack set fire to an energy facility and a warehouse belonging to Wildberries in the southern Volgograd region, local authorities and the online retailer said Friday morning.
Volgograd region Governor Andrei Bocharov said at least five people were injured during the overnight attack but did not identify the energy facility by name.
NASA's fire monitoring system FIRMS showed several large active fires at the site of a major Lukoil-operated oil refinery just south of the city of Volgograd.
In a statement, Wildberries confirmed that a fire broke out at one of its logistics hubs in Volgograd following the Ukrainian drone attack, but reported no casualties at the site.
Images shared on social media showed a large column of black smoke rising above the city early Friday.
