Ukrainian drones hit two additional warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, injuring 10 people, Russian officials said, according to Al Jazeera. The strikes matter because Ukraine has repeatedly targeted the company’s facilities while accusing them of helping supply Russia’s war effort.

Al Jazeera reported that the latest attacks struck two more Wildberries warehouses. Russian officials said 10 people were hurt in the drone strikes.

Ukraine has carried out several attacks on Wildberries sites, Al Jazeera reported. Ukrainian officials say the company’s buildings are being used to supply military components.

The reported strikes add to a pattern of Ukrainian attacks on logistics sites inside Russia linked by Kyiv to military supply chains. Wildberries is Russia’s biggest online retailer, according to Al Jazeera.

No further details on the condition of the injured people were included in the report.
