A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries, often called the Russian Amazon, caught fire on Sunday following a reported drone attack. The blaze occurred about 25 miles from the Kremlin, in an area sometimes referred to as the 'Russian Amazon' due to the retailer's dominance.
Second Incident for Wildberries
This is the second time a Wildberries warehouse has been engulfed by flames in recent weeks, as Ukraine has intensified drone strikes deep into Russian territory. The latest fire was reported on Sunday, according to initial reports.
Ongoing Drone Campaign
Ukraine has been launching several drone strikes into Russia in recent weeks, targeting infrastructure and logistics hubs. The attack on the Wildberries facility is part of this broader campaign, which has disrupted operations for major Russian companies.
Details remain limited, and authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the fire. The incident underscores the growing impact of the conflict on Russian commerce and daily life.
