Fire reported at Russian oil refinery located over 6,000 kilometers from Ukraine as Wildberries targeted again
A fire broke out at an oil refinery over 6,000 kilometers (4,000 miles) from Ukraine in Russia's Far East, as a Voronezh Oblast logistics hub belonging to major Russian online retailer Wildberries was targeted overnight on Aug. 11, monitoring channels reported.
A fire erupted at an oil refinery located over 6,000 kilometers from Ukraine in Russia's Far East, while a logistics hub belonging to major Russian online retailer Wildberries was targeted overnight on August 11, according to monitoring channels. The cause of the refinery fire remains unknown. In Voronezh Oblast, a Wildberries logistics hub in the village of Novaya Usman caught fire following explosions amid Ukrainian strikes, with an air raid alert activated due to potential drone threats.
Another fire was reported at a power plant around 4,300 kilometers from Ukraine in Angarsk, Irkutsk Oblast, but details are yet to be confirmed. Ukraine's frequent strikes on Russian military infrastructure, including a recent attack on an oil refinery in Tatarstan and military targets in occupied Ukrainian territories, may have contributed to these incidents.
Wildberries, a prominent Russian online retailer, has been a recurring target of Ukrainian drone attacks, with warehouses in Yekaterinburg and Tula Oblast previously set ablaze.
