Russia's Wildberries says it paid out compensation to victims of Ukrainian attacks on its warehouses

MOSCOW, July 28 (Reuters) - Russia's biggest online retailer Wildberries said on Tuesday that it had so far paid out 40 million roubles ($508,582) to the families of those killed or those injured in Ukrainian drone attacks on its warehouses.

At least eight Wildberries warehouses, accounting for over 10% of the company's logistics capacity, have been attacked by Ukraine since July 18 when the first attack on the retailer killed eight workers.

"The first payments to severely injured workers and the families of those killed were made as early as 21 July," Wildberries said in a statement.
