Ukrainian drones struck a Wildberries sortation center in the Tula region, the online retailer and local officials said Wednesday morning, with at least one person injured in the attack.<\/p>\n

Tula region Governor Dmitry Milyayev said<\/a> more than 100 drones were intercepted in the skies above his region amid an overnight barrage. He said a fire broke out at the Wildberries facility and that emergency crews were responding to the site.<\/p>\n

In a press release, Wildberries confirmed<\/a> the attack on its sortation center in the Tula region. The company said its employees were evacuated from the facility and that shipments would be redirected to other locations.<\/p>\n

Images shared on social media showed a large fire and column of smoke rising above what was said to be the Wildberries sortation center in the Tula region.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted 475 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has attacked almost two dozen Wildberries logistics centers since mid-July, accusing the company of supplying the Russian military with drone parts and other equipment.<\/p>\n

The strikes have wiped out a significant portion of the e-commerce giant’s storage capacity and cost third-party merchants\u00a0hundreds of billions of rubles<\/a>, according to Forbes Russia.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Ukraine,\u00a0Russian strikes near Kyiv killed at least fourteen people and injured more than two dozen others, emergency officials said Wednesday. Warehouses were also targeted in the overnight attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukrainian drones struck a Wildberries sortation center in the Tula region, the online retailer and local officials said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24629,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[237,2954,319,7199],"class_list":["post-24628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-drones","tag-tula","tag-ukraine-war","tag-wildberries"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24628"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24628\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
