Footage from Saint Petersburg shows a vast plume of grey smoke rising above the warehouse as firefighters battle the blaze. Emergency crews were deployed after the strike, which officials in the Leningrad region said had hit civilian infrastructure.
Leningrad Governor Alexander Drozdenko said three people were injured and that Russian air defences intercepted 33 Ukrainian drones over the region overnight. Wildberries confirmed that two of its warehouses in Saint Petersburg had suspended operations following the attack, although the company released few further details. Flights at Pulkovo Airport were briefly halted before resuming later in the morning.
