Unverifiable photos and videos circulating on social media appeared to show burning cars and an evacuation of the mail order company’s employees. The company confirmed that the logistics center in Yekaterinburg was evacuated for security reasons. However, it was not damaged and operations should resume soon. In recent days, Wildberries locations have been hit several times in Ukrainian drone attacks.

The governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Denis Pasler, spoke on Telegram about a repelled drone attack. Falling drone debris would have started a fire. People were evacuated, but there were no injuries or damage to economic objects or infrastructure.
Governor: Injured in Rostov and Belgorod
The governor of the Rostov region spoke of a massive air attack, drones and missiles were repelled. However, four men were injured in Rostov-on-Don and another in Krasny Sulin district, he said. Among other things, residential buildings, warehouses and infrastructure were damaged and fires broke out but had already been extinguished.
The acting governor of the Belgorod region, Alexander Shuvayev, also spoke of a massive drone attack that night. Four people were injured, he wrote on Telegram.
The Defense Ministry in Moscow said it had fended off 328 Ukrainian drones during the night. This information cannot be verified independently, but it does allow conclusions to be drawn about the intensity of the Ukrainian counterattacks.
Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion with Western help for more than four years. It relies primarily on drones for its counterattacks. (hkl/sda/dpa)
