A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured two others while sparking fires at a Wildberries warehouse in the Voronezh region of Russia. Ukraine’s expanding deep-strike campaign impacted Russia’s largest online retailer again Thursday, when a drone struck an oil and petrochemical complex in Bashkortostan, sparking a fire at a Wildberries facility, according to reports.
