Three people sustained injuries in the incident.Wildberries confirmed it had ceased operations at two regional logistics sites and evacuated staff from its Crimea warehouse. A Reuters video from the scene depicted two vast plumes of black smoke rising over the area. This marks the fifth attack on Wildberries warehouses since 18 July, affecting around 10 per cent of its logistics capacity.While Wildberries reported no staff injuries in this latest strike, eight people were killed in the 18 July attacks on logistics hubs in Kotovsk and Elektrostal. On 22 July, 10 people were injured in attacks on Wildberries warehouses in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.Kyiv maintains that the company is part of infrastructure supporting the Russian military, a claim Moscow denies, stating Wildberries is central to the consumer economy and handles no military supplies. Together with competitors, Wildberries and Ozon sell goods and services equivalent to 8.5 per cent of Russia's gross domestic product, employing four million people, or over 5 per cent of the country's workforce.In fullUkraine-Russia war latest: Trump aide says Putin is suffering ‘staggering’ losses of 5,000 troops a weekMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
