Ukrainian long-range drones struck a major warehouse belonging to Russia’s biggest online retailer for the second time in just over a month, starting a massive fire that destroyed it completely, local authorities said Wednesday.
Ukrainian forces previously hit the depot in the Tambov region southeast of Moscow, several hundred kilometers (miles) from the Ukrainian border, on July 18, killing seven people and heralding the start of an aerial campaign that has delivered repeated blows to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries. The company’s size and commercial importance have brought comparisons with Amazon.
