Fire breaks out at major Wildberries warehouse near Moscow after Ukrainian drone strike

Russian officials have reported that a fire broke out at one of the largest warehouses of the online retail platform Wildberries in the Moscow region overnight into Sunday, following a Ukrainian drone strike.

A medical supplies warehouse in the same area was also affected by the flames, according to the officials. Local Russian authorities confirmed the incident publicly, though further details on the scale of the fire, possible casualties, or the extent of material damage have not yet been released.

Wildberries is one of Russia's largest online trading platforms, and its warehouses supply goods to a wide customer base across the country. Damage to a facility of this size could affect the supply chain in the region.

Ukraine regularly carries out drone strikes against various targets on Russian territory, including the Moscow region, which lies relatively close to the country's capital. Such attacks form part of the broader pattern in which both sides continue long-range drone and missile strikes against each other as the war continues.
