Ukrainian Drones Hit Two Wildberries Warehouses in Russia, Sparking Massive Fires

In the early hours of Wednesday, July 22, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles struck two warehouses belonging to Russia's largest e-commerce platform, Wildberries. The attacks occurred in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, causing extensive fires at the logistics centers.

According to reports from the independent online outlet Astra, the Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+, and local authorities, several warehouse buildings were damaged in the strikes. The scale of the fire and any potential casualties have not yet been specified.

Wildberries is Russia's leading online retailer, and these attacks could disrupt its supply chain. Such strikes are part of Kyiv's strategy to cripple Russia's military and economic infrastructure, aiming to weaken its capacity to continue the war against Ukraine.

Local officials have confirmed drone attacks during the night, resulting in fires. More precise data on damage and casualties are still being gathered. The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media and in independent news outlets.

This is not the first time Ukrainian forces have targeted facilities within Russian territory. In recent months, Ukrainian drones have regularly struck energy and logistics infrastructure, seeking to disrupt the supply lines of the Russian army.
