Ukrainian drones struck two massive Wildberries warehouses near St. Petersburg and a defense plant in Kirov, about 900 km east of Moscow, according to reports. The attack is described as a massive wave of UAVs.
Ukrainian drones struck a defense plant in Kirov, approximately 900 km east of Moscow, in a massive wave of UAVs that also hit two Wildberries warehouses near St. Petersburg, The Zioneer reported at 07:35 Jerusalem. The attack on Kirov expands the target set beyond logistics hubs to defense industrial infrastructure, marking a new phase in Ukraine's deep-strike campaign.
The overnight operation began with reports at 02:03 Jerusalem of a strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Simferopol, Crimea. By 02:03 Jerusalem, additional reports emerged of strikes on St. Petersburg and Wildberries warehouses in Tver, followed by confirmation from N12 journalist Asaf Rozenzweig that two Wildberries warehouses near St. Petersburg were hit. At 07:35 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the two Wildberries warehouses were struck. The new report now adds a defense plant in Kirov as an additional target.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Wildberries warehouses, alleging the e-commerce giant's logistics network supports Russia's military production. The strike on a defense plant in Kirov, a city far from the front lines, indicates Ukraine's ability to project power deep into Russian territory.
No details on damage, casualties, or the specific weapons used in any of the attacks are yet available. The extent of the strike on the Kirov defense plant remains unclear.
