Ukrainian drone strikes ignite Wildberries warehouses across Russia
Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several logistics centers belonging to Wildberries across Saint Petersburg and other regions, causing fires and operational disruptions.
Ukrainian drones targeted several logistics centers belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, across Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, Tver, and occupied Crimea overnight.
Leningrad Oblast Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko stated that air defenses shot down 59 drones, while three people were injured at a warehouse site. Saint Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov confirmed strikes affected "civilian infrastructure," leading to the suspension of operations at two major facilities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky defended the targeting of the e-commerce company, asserting that the platform sells components used in drone production as well as military supplies for Russian armed forces. Reports indicate this marks the fifth strike on Wildberries infrastructure in recent days.
