A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries in Voronezh was damaged in a Ukrainian drone strike on August 11. A satellite image reported by Radio Free Europe's Russian service shows that 70,000 square meters of the warehouse area burned down.
The company's official Telegram channel stated that goods were mostly undamaged as a result of the drone strike and fire. The same Wildberries facility in Voronezh had previously been attacked and slightly damaged on July 23.
On the morning of August 11, Voronezh Oblast Governor Aleksandr Gusev stated that fires broke out at two warehouses of a large company in the Novousmansky district following a Ukrainian drone attack. An analysis by Russian Telegram channel Astra indicated that the fire occurred on the territory of the Wildberries logistics complex. The company's press service previously confirmed the evacuation of Wildberries employees in the region.

Military response and background
The Ukrainian military did not comment on the attack.
Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, targets across Russia and occupied Ukrainian regions have been subject to air strikes. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed most attacks, stating that Ukrainian Defense Forces systematically carry out actions to lower the combat potential of Russian forces and force Russia to end its armed aggression against Ukraine.
