What happened
A drone attack caused a major fire that destroyed Wildberries' logistics centre in Kotovsk, according to Tambov Oblast Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov and company reporting cited by Reuters and AP. Pervyshov said 19 drones targeted the site, with 16 intercepted and three reaching the building, and reported two people injured. Satellite imagery supplied to Reuters showed smoke rising from the facility, but no independent structural-loss survey was published. The same warehouse had been attacked on 18 July, when seven employees were killed, making this a separate repeat strike. The marker uses the published industrial-park warehouse address rather than a weapon-impact coordinate.
When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
