Overnight, Ukrainian drones struck a strategic airport and an oil refinery in Saratov, Russia, and set another large Wildberries logistics warehouse ablaze in Samara, according to reports. The strikes are the latest in an intensifying Ukrainian long-range drone campaign targeting Russian military infrastructure and commercial logistics hubs.
Earlier today (Sunday, 08:54 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported on a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses in Samara Oblast, including two strikes on a distribution center in Novosemeykino and a separate strike on a warehouse in the region. The Wildberries warehouse network has been a recurring target throughout July, with strikes reported in Moscow Oblast, Penza, Sarapul, and now Samara.
The Saratov region is home to the Engels-2 strategic bomber airbase, which has been targeted previously, and the oil refinery struck is a major fuel supplier for Russian forces. Damage and casualty figures have not been reported.
The Zioneer has tracked the expanding Ukrainian drone campaign against Russian infrastructure, including a record 660-drone attack on June 26 and a 390-drone barrage on Moscow on July 28.
