# Firestorm in Crimea: Drone attack on Wildberries warehouse and fires in three cities

The night of July 24 marked a period of massive destabilization in occupied Crimea. The peninsula's territory was subjected to a mass drone attack, the consequences of which became immediately evident in several key locations. According to data gathered from Russian Telegram channels and open sources (OSINT), the strikes targeted infrastructure and logistics facilities.

### Timeline of events: from alarm to explosions

Signals of a drone threat were received as early as the evening, after 22:20. An hour later, the situation escalated sharply: explosions were heard simultaneously in several cities on the peninsula. Residents and observers recorded powerful flashes and sounds characteristic of munitions detonating.

Particular attention was drawn to events in three locations:

- **Sevastopol:** Loud explosions were recorded in the city.

- **Theodosia:** Reports indicate a possible hit in the port area.

- **Simferopol:** A strong fire was observed near the thermal power plant, leading to the assumption that a thermal power station (TPS) was attacked.

### Fire at the Wildberries warehouse

One of the most noticeable consequences of the attack was a fire at a logistics facility in Simferopol. After 01:00, video footage from the scene began to spread widely on social media and OSINT channels. The footage clearly shows a huge column of fire, as well as bright flashes resembling fireworks.

Video authors confirmed that the incident was indeed a fire at the Wildberries marketplace warehouse. The situation on the ground was critical, with the fire engulfing a significant area of the sorting center.

### Company response

Some time after the incident began, Wildberries indirectly confirmed the situation. The marketplace's press service stated that the sorting center in Simferopol had been fully evacuated. This decision was made in strict accordance with safety requirements for personnel.

Thus, the night attack demonstrated the vulnerability of logistics and energy facilities on the peninsula, causing large-scale fires and the evacuation of employees of major commercial structures.
