A Ukrainian drone attack on a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Vladimir region caused a fire and minor injuries, prompting the company to reroute logistics operations to other facilities.

‌Russian online ​retailer Wildberries said on Monday that a Ukrainian ‌drone attack on one of its warehouses in the Vladimir region had caused a fire ‌to break out and that staff had ‌been evacuated.
