Ukrainian drones struck two massive warehouses of the Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries near St. Petersburg, according to a report by Asaf Rozenzweig. No details on damage or casualties are yet available.
Ukrainian drones struck two massive Wildberries warehouses near St. Petersburg early Friday morning, according to a report by Asaf Rozenzweig. The attack, described as "massive," follows a series of earlier reports from The Zioneer on the same night.
The Zioneer first reported a Ukrainian drone strike on a Wildberries warehouse in Simferopol, Crimea, at 02:03 Jerusalem. Shortly after, at the same hour, the desk updated that strikes had also been reported on St. Petersburg and a Wildberries warehouse in Tver, and a third version specified a Wildberries warehouse in St. Petersburg. At 05:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published a separate bulletin confirming a strike on a Wildberries warehouse in St. Petersburg. The latest report now identifies two warehouses near St. Petersburg as the target and characterizes the attack as "massive," suggesting an escalation in the frequency and scale of strikes on the company's logistics hubs in the region.
Wildberries, Russia's largest e-commerce platform, has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian long-range drones in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 18, Ukrainian forces struck a Wildberries warehouse in Tambov, and on July 20, strikes hit Wildberries facilities in Moscow Oblast. Ukrainian sources have alleged that the company is part of Russia's military supply chain, enabling the import of components for drones and UAVs.
No details on damage, casualties, or the specific type of drones used in the latest attack are yet available.
