The two, a man and a 14-year-old boy, were killed when a drone crashed into a house in the Lipetsk region on Wednesday night, according to information from the region's governor.

The warehouse, owned by e-commerce giant Wildberries, is located in Kotovsk in the neighboring Tambov region. Ukrainian drone strikes caused a 100,000-square-metre fire at the facility, the region's governor wrote on the Telegram messaging service.

Images on social media show columns of smoke and flames rising into the sky.

Wildberries is often described as "Russia's Amazon." Kyiv has claimed that the company supplies the Russian army with components.
