One-fifth of Wildberries warehouse in Bashkortostan gutted by fire following Ukrainian strike. SATELLITE IMAGES

One-fifth of the Russian Wildberries logistics centre in the village of Chishmy, Bashkortostan, was gutted by fire following a Ukrainian strike on 13 August.

This is evidenced by a satellite image published by the Russian Service of Radio Liberty, Censor.NET reports.

Details

The image, taken today at 1 p.m., shows that the fire destroyed almost 30,000 square metres of the warehouse. The image also shows drone impact marks on the roof in other parts of the building, meaning the damage inside the warehouse may be more extensive.

This facility became the 21st logistics centre in Russia to be damaged or destroyed in Ukrainian attacks since 18 July.
