3 injured as Ukraine strikes Russia's largest online retailer

Leningrad Gov. Aleksandr Drozdenko said on Telegram that a drone strike sparked a fire at the logistics center in the village of Novosaratovka in the Vsevolozhsk district and injured three people.

A separate drone strike caused the collapse of a warehouse at the Severnaya Poultry Farm in the village of Sinyavino in the Kirovsky district with no injuries reported, he said.

St. Petersburg Gov. Aleksandr Beglov said on Telegram that the city came under a drone attack Friday morning and that air defense systems were engaged.

He said civilian infrastructure along the key Moskovskoye Highway was hit and emergency services were responding.

Russia's Investigative Committee said it has opened a criminal case on terrorism over what it described as a Ukrainian attack on civilian targets in the Leningrad region.

Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim on Telegram said the logistics facilities in Shushary and Utkina Zavod in St. Petersburg and the surrounding region, as well as in Simferopol, annexed Crimea came under attack.

However, she said no one was injured because employees were evacuated quickly.

Wildberries said on Telegram that operations at the two facilities were temporarily suspended.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed air defense systems shot down 571 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions, annexed Crimea, and over waters of Black and Azov seas overnight.

Ukraine did not immediately comment on the claims and independent verification remains difficult due to the ongoing war.
