Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Wildberries warehouses across multiple Russian regions overnight, causing fires and leaving at least six people dead.

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted facilities belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest e-commerce platform, in an overnight attack across multiple regions. Strikes hit major logistics warehouses in the Moscow and St. Petersburg areas, igniting heavy fires and prompting evacuations. According to Russian authorities, at least six people were killed and nine others injured during the strikes.

Ukrainian forces have targeted roughly 20 Wildberries facilities since mid-July, alleging the platform is being utilized to sell military equipment and drones. Concurrently, Russian officials claimed their forces struck seven Ukrainian cargo vessels. The strikes mark a continued escalation in cross-border attacks on commercial and transport infrastructure.
