A warehouse belonging to Wildberries, Russia's largest e-commerce operator, caught fire in the village of Novosaratovka, in the Vsevolozhsk district, northeast of St. Petersburg. According to local media, the facility was struck during a Ukrainian drone raid over the St. Petersburg area. The attack reportedly caused three injuries. A dense column of smoke was visible across several parts of the city. Wildberries logistics centers have reportedly been targeted multiple times in recent weeks, according to the same local sources. In previous days, also on Russian territory, an oil depot and the Aviatek company, operating in the aviation and defense sector, had been hit. In the broader conflict context, Ukrainian and Russian sources reported a nighttime attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia as well. The twenty-first package of sanctions against Moscow has also been approved. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet with United States President Donald Trump on July 28.
