Ukraine has again targeted Russia's largest online retailer Wildberries, launching strikes on logistics centres that injured at least eight people, authorities said on Wednesday.

Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim wrote on Telegram on Wednesday morning that the strikes had hit logistics centres in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk in southern Russia. Unverified footage purporting to show large fires circulated on social media.

Emergency services said three people had been injured at the Krasnodar warehouse, while the governor of the Stavropol region, Vladimir Vladimirov, said five people had been injured in the fire in Nevinnomyssk.

The newspaper Kommersant reported, citing expert estimates, that around 7% of Wildberries' storage capacity was now unusable.

Just days ago, Ukraine set fire to Wildberries logistics centres in the Moscow region and in the Tambov region. A total of eight people were killed and dozens injured in those strikes.

Russian investigators accused Ukraine of targeting civilian facilities in what they called terrorist attacks. Russia has also struck logistics centres in Ukraine.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that the situation was not easy for the retailer and its customers. Many small and medium-sized businesses rent space in the logistics centres to store their goods; a number of them now fear for their survival.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had defended the strikes as part of Kiev's defensive campaign against Russia's full-scale invasion, which has been ongoing since February 2022.

Zelensky claimed that goods that are subject to Western sanctions and could be used for both civilian and military purposes were stored in Wildberries warehouses.
