According to local authorities, 15 people were injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the warehouses were "involved in providing the Russian army with drone components, navigation equipment and other gear". It's the second time Ukraine has targeted the firm's sites in four days, with two other hubs, including one near Moscow, hit on Saturday - killing eight people. Serhii Kuzan, chairman of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Centre, has told the BBC that Wildberries' website had been used by Russian volunteers to buy military equipment. | | | | | | | | |

| BEYOND THE HEADLINES | | Japanese men now wear shorts to the office. Their female colleagues aren't fans | | | | | | | Several Japanese cities have experienced temperatures of 40C (104F) or higher for the first time on Wednesday. Credit: Getty Images | | Japan is facing such high temperatures that the word "kokusho-bi" has been coined to describe a "brutally hot day". To deal with the heat, the Tokyo government is pushing employees to ditch their suits and opt for shorts. The new policy has caused dismay among female staff, who describe it as "leg hair harassment" - the discomfort of being forced to see their colleagues' bare legs. Meanwhile, women are still expected to wear tights. | | | | | | |
