Ukrainian long-range drones attacked the logistics complex of the Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries in Sarapul, Udmurtia.

Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n Footage from local Telegram channels shows an explosion near a large building with a design characteristic of Wildberries\u2019 logistics facilities. Following the explosion, a column of thick black smoke rose above the complex.<\/p>\n The Ukrainian military has not officially commented on the strike.

The joint venture between Wildberries and Russ stated at the time that the evacuation had been carried out in accordance with safety requirements.<\/p>\n According to preliminary reports, that incident did not cause any damage to the warehouse, after which the facility resumed operations. The current attack is different: in the footage that has been released, the explosion can be seen taking place right next to the complex.<\/p>\n In July, drones attacked or disrupted logistics operations Wildberries properties<\/a> in the Moscow, Ryazan, Penza, Tambov, Leningrad and Sverdlovsk regions, the Krasnodar Krai, Udmurtia and the temporarily occupied Crimea.
