Ukrainian drone strikes sparked a massive fire at a Russian online retailer’s warehouse, sending a tremendous column of black smoke and flames into the sky, video showed.
The strikes forced workers to flee and left several people hurt at the Wildberries facilities in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk, company co-founder Tatyana Kim told Reuters.
Wildberries is frequently described as “Russia’s Amazon” and serves as one of the biggest employers in Russia. The overnight attacks in the southwestern portion of the country mark the second time in less than a week that Ukraine has targeted the company, which it claims supports the Russian military.
On Saturday, Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries facilities left eight people dead, according to reports.
The latest attacks prompted Kim to issue a statement on Telegram: “There are no words to describe all the feelings and emotions caused by the attacks on ordinary people, on our employees, on all of us who are simply doing our jobs.”
Ukraine’s cities, power grid and logistical hubs have been under consistent attacks from Russia since it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, but the strikes on Wildberries is a new effort in Ukraine’s offensive, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“We are, quite justly, bringing the war back home — to Russia,” he said.
The strategy might be working, according to videos from Russians cited by the Kyiv Post.
“That’s it, guys. Many people will wake up bankrupt today because the warehouse in Krasnodar has burned down. It is still burning,” one man said in a clip reported by the outlet.
Another man declared in a second video reported by the Kyiv Post: “I already want this ‘special military operation’ to end. So many people are dying, and so many entrepreneurs are suffering. We now need to file reports with the tax authorities. I don’t know what to say or what to do.”
