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.

The company, whose warehouses have been ​systematically targeted by Ukraine in recent weeks, said firefighters were working ​at the scene. It said logistics operations ​had been rerouted to other facilities ‌to ⁠ensure deliveries and shipments continued as usual.

Alexander Avdeyev, the regional governor, said a young man had ​received ​a non ⁠life-threatening head wound in the attack and ​was being taken to ​hospital. ⁠A woman who lived nearby had also suffered what he ⁠described ​as minor injuries ​to one of her legs.
