Russia and Ukraine traded accusations Friday over a wave of overnight drone attacks targeting logistics, port and other infrastructure, with Ukrainian authorities reporting at least three people killed and 22 injured.
In Russia, acting Tver Gov. Vitaly Korolev said on the Russian social media platform Max that debris from a Ukrainian drone damaged the wall of a warehouse operated by Wildberries, the country’s largest online retailer, in the Kalininsky district.
“The resulting smoke was quickly extinguished. No employees were injured. Emergency services are on site to ensure the continued safety of the facility,” Korolev said.
Wildberries confirmed the attack in a Telegram post, saying its logistics facility suffered minor damage and was evacuated as a precaution in line with safety regulations. The company said no goods were damaged.
Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on Wildberries logistics facilities in a campaign that began in mid-July and has spread across several Russian regions.
