Ukrainian drones strike Wildberries warehouses across Russia
Since mid‑July 2026 Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted the logistics network of Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer. At least 21 Wildberries logistics centres have been hit, including major sites in the Moscow region (Chekhov), near St Petersburg (Krasny Bor), Tver, and Samara. The August 4 attacks killed five people and injured ten in Chekhov, while the Krasny Bor and Tver sites reported no casualties. Overall, seven deaths were recorded in three attacks on August 4. Russian air‑defence systems intercepted 320 Ukrainian drones over 18 Russian regions and Crimea. Ukrainian officials claim the warehouses support Russian military logistics; Wildberries founder Tatiana Kim called the strikes “acts of terrorism.” Analysts estimate seller losses of 215‑280 billion roubles (≈€2.3‑3.0 billion). In response, Wildberries is planning new warehouses in Kazakhstan to mitigate further damage.
