Drone strike kills two in Russia, Wildberries warehouse ablaze

Two people were killed when a drone crashed into a house in southwestern Russia, while an attack by Ukrainian drones on a warehouse belonging to the e-commerce giant Wildberries triggered a fire, Russian authorities said on Aug. 26.
Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, is regularly targeted by Kiev, which alleges the company supplies components to the Russian army.
A fire broke out at a Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk, in the Tambov region, about 500 kilometers southeast of Moscow, overnight from Aug. 25 to Aug. 26 after Ukrainian drone strikes, regional governor Yevgeny Pervychov said on Telegram.
