Russian online retailer Wildberries, the target ‌of a three-week campaign of near-nightly strikes by Ukrainian ​drones, said on Friday that another of its logistics hubs had caught fire after ​an attack in Yekaterinburg, 1,400km east of Moscow.

The blaze was later ‌contained, and ​most of the goods at the site were not ⁠damaged, the ​company said on ​Telegram. The company operates a business model similar to Amazon.

The local governor said in a ‌separate post that ​eight drones had been shot down over ⁠the region ⁠overnight, ​and three of them had crashed onto the roof of a logistics centre.

At least 20 Wildberries warehouses have been attacked since July 18 as part of ‌a campaign by ⁠Ukraine to “bring the war home” to ordinary Russians and raise ‌the cost to Russia of continuing the conflict ​that Moscow launched in ​February 2022. – Reuters
