Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported Tuesday morning that Ukraine launched over 390 drones toward the capital overnight, most of which were intercepted. A logistics warehouse adjacent to the Wildberries distribution center in Koledino was struck, causing a large fire. The attack came hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ukraine launched a massive overnight drone attack on the Moscow region early Tuesday, with Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reporting over 390 UAVs targeting the capital. A logistics warehouse adjacent to the Wildberries distribution center in Koledino was struck and set ablaze, according to the mayor's statement. The attack came just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was expected to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, a meeting that has been a focal point of diplomatic attention.
The Zioneer first reported unverified accounts of the attack at 06:16 Jerusalem Tuesday. Within minutes, Sobyanin confirmed at least 390 drones, most intercepted, and a fire at a 3PL distribution center near the Wildberries complex. Russian official sources later corroborated the scale and damage, reporting additional strikes on office and residential buildings. By 09:25 Jerusalem, the affected facility was identified as the Wildberries-adjacent warehouse in Koledino, refining the initial reports.
Wildberries, Russia's dominant online retailer, has seen its logistics infrastructure increasingly targeted by Ukrainian long-range strikes. As The Zioneer reported in its topic page on Wildberries, the company's fulfillment centers have become strategic vulnerabilities. A previous strike on its second-largest fulfillment center in the Moscow region was reported in July 2026, and Ukrainian drones struck Wildberries warehouses and oil facilities in Moscow Oblast again on July 20. The broader context includes an "unprecedented" Ukrainian drone operation against Moscow with nearly 200 UAVs in June, which Zelensky described as a direct response to Russian strikes on Kyiv.
The full extent of damage from this latest attack remains unclear, particularly regarding the reported strikes on office and residential buildings. The scheduled Zelensky-Trump meeting, which the attack precedes, has not been officially confirmed as proceeding on schedule. Independent verification of the number of drones and the nature of the intercepted targets is still pending, as the claims rely on Russian official sources and the Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig.
