It was a restless night in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The local warehouse of the Wildberries marketplace was under attack.
As a result of the hits, a fire broke out and smoke rose at the facility. This was reported by the Telegram channel Exilenova+.
What is known
The information that a drone danger regime had been declared in the region was made public by Yekaterinburg Mayor Alexei Orlov after 06:00.
“Attention! A drone danger regime has been declared in the region! Responsible services and departments are taking all necessary measures. It is important to remain calm and vigilant,” the official wrote.
Later, locals filmed the drones flying overhead and the subsequent fire after they were hit. Even the Russians were not helped by the air defenses, which desperately tried to shoot down the UAV.
According to Exilenova+, the attack on another Wildberries warehouse was carried out by Ukrainian-made “Lyuty” drones, which covered a distance of over 2,000 km from “home”.
“The WB warehouse of the Russian Armed Forces is in flames after the attack of a Ukrainian freedom-loving bird. 2,000+ km from home. Yekaterinburg,” the report says.
They also added that the fire started in the first block of the affected facility.
I hope that little fire grows into another major blaze!
