Ukraine drone strikes spark fire at another Wildberries warehouse near St Petersburg

A fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in the Russian settlement of Krasny Bor, located near St Petersburg, in the early hours of Tuesday following Ukrainian drone strikes. The incident was reported by Ukrainian and Russian media, and it marks another warehouse of the online retail platform to catch fire under such circumstances.

Krasny Bor is a populated place in Leningrad Oblast, which surrounds St Petersburg. The warehouse that burned belongs to Wildberries, a well-known e-commerce platform. Media reports say the blaze started after drones struck the area, but they provide few additional details.

So far, there is no precise information about the scale of the fire, possible casualties, or the extent of the damage. The reports do not specify how many drones were involved, what kind of munitions they carried, or whether the warehouse was deliberately targeted. It also remains unclear if the fire was caused directly by the strike or spread from a nearby location.

This incident follows a pattern of Wildberries warehouses being affected by Ukrainian drone attacks inside Russia, as mentioned in the reports. However, no official statements from Russian or Ukrainian authorities have been made public regarding this particular fire. The available information is based solely on the accounts of Ukrainian and Russian media outlets.
