Wildberries logistics hub in Russia's Tula region on fire after drone attack

Aug 5 (Reuters) - ‌A logistics ​hub ​of top Russian online retailer Wildberries caught fire after ‌a Ukrainian drone attack that injured ⁠one person, Tula regional governor Dmitry ‌Milyayev said on Telegram ‌on Wednesday.

Wildberries, which has seen over a dozen of its ​facilities damaged in drone attacks recently, confirmed the strike in ⁠a separate Telegram post and said it had ​evacuated people from the facility while redirecting delivery flows.

Milyayev said ​two industrial facilities ‌in the city of Novomoskovsk and in the Uzlovaya ⁠area, as well as two apartment buildings in another part of ⁠the Tula region, were also damaged.

Russian forces ​attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv from the air early on Wednesday, killing one ‌person, injuring 24 and severely damaging buildings in several ‌districts of the city of ⁠3 million ‌people.
