Reports from Ukrainian and Russian media indicate that overnight into Tuesday, Ukrainian drones struck Wildberries warehouse infrastructure in Russia. In Krasny Bor, near St Petersburg, a drone strike caused a fire at a Wildberries facility. Another drone hit a Wildberries warehouse in Chekhov in the Moscow region.

According to available information, since Ukraine began conducting drone strikes against this retail platform, a total of 15 of the online store's facilities have been damaged. The exact list of affected buildings has not been released, and it is unclear how those structures are used.

The incidents in Krasny Bor and Chekhov show that Ukrainian forces continue to deploy drones to disrupt logistics and commercial operations inside Russia. Wildberries is one of Russia's most prominent e-commerce companies, so strikes on its facilities could have wider consequences for product deliveries and supply chains.

No official statement has yet detailed the extent of the fire or reported any casualties. The media say the strikes took place during the night, and more precise damage assessments are expected later. The developments reflect the broader pattern of Ukrainian drone attacks reaching deeper into Russian territory during the ongoing war.
