Ukrainian drones have attacked warehouses of the online retailer Wildberries again, injuring fifteen people. The attacks have shocked the region, and officials have reported several injuries. This is the second drone attack in just four days. The first attack occurred on Saturday, resulting in eight deaths and sixty-two injuries. The warehouses in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions are crucial because they reportedly supply parts for Russian drones and navigation systems, which play significant roles in the ongoing conflict. In Nevinnomyssk, five workers have faced injuries, while in Krasnodar, ten people were hurt, with three suffering serious conditions that required immediate medical attention. The local governor described the recent attacks as significant events, emphasizing the danger to civilians. In addition to the warehouses, some drone parts struck nearby buildings; fortunately, there were no injuries reported there. Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim has expressed sadness about the situation, mentioning the emotional impact of these attacks on her employees and workers. She insists that they must continue their work, despite the risks. Ukraine has not provided detailed information about these attacks yet, but they indicate an escalation in the conflict. The majority of people want an end to this violence, while many fear for their safety and well-being in the region.
