Ukrainian drone attacks have destroyed over a quarter of Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries' warehouse capacity in just two weeks, according to Verstka.

Ukrainian drone strikes have severely damaged facilities belonging to Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries, destroying more than 25% of its total storage capacity within a two-week period. According to an investigation by independent media outlet Verstka, the affected facilities account for over 1.5 million square meters of warehouse space.

The attacks highlight the expanding geographical scope and operational impact of Ukraine's long-range unmanned aerial vehicle strikes targeting logistics infrastructure inside Russian territory. Wildberries has not yet publicly detailed the operational impact or full financial extent of the disruptions to its national delivery network.
