Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kyiv hits Wildberries again as Zelensky launches hundreds of drones in mass attack
Ukrainian drones struck another facility belonging to Russian retail giant Wildberries on Sunday, as Kyiv continued to target the country’s largest online retailer.
The strike on a warehouse in the Samara region caused a fire, but no casualties, regional governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said.
The warehouse lies about 800km (500 miles) from Ukraine’s most advanced military positions.
The latest attack came as cross-border drone strikes intensified, with Ukrainian attacks killing at least nine people in Russia and Russian strikes killing at least five in Ukraine, according to officials in both countries.
Kyiv has attacked about a dozen Wildberries sites since 18 July in a bid to disrupt the operations of the company, a linchpin of the consumer economy that Kyiv says helps bolster Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
Russia’s defence ministry said it downed 635 Ukrainian drones during the night. Moscow does not typically reveal the total number of projectiles fired by Ukraine.
