Pictures from the scene show a huge cloud of smoke and nearly 300 firefighters are working to extinguish the fire.
The burning facility is estimated to be around 50,000 square meters and is located just outside Saint Petersburg, reports the Russian news site Jellyfish.
The company Wildberries, Russia’s largest e-commerce company, states that all personnel have been evacuated from the warehouse and that no one has been injured.
What caused the fire is not known, but according to information to the Russian media channel RBC, the fire may be arson. They refer to fights at the facility in recent days where, among other things, security forces raided employees.
