Ukrainian drone strikes hit major Russian e-commerce logistics centers
Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Wildberries logistics centers across Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and Crimea, injuring three people and suspending warehouse operations.
Ukrainian drone strikes hit logistics hubs belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, across Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, Tver, and occupied Crimea overnight.
Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko reported that Russian air defenses intercepted 59 Ukrainian drones, adding that three people sustained injuries at a local warehouse. Saint Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov confirmed strikes on "civilian infrastructure" near the highway connecting Petersburg and Moscow. Operations at two major logistics centers were subsequently suspended following large fires.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the platform distributes military supplies and components for Russian drone manufacturing. The operation marks the fifth attack on the retailer's facilities within a week.
