A video posted online on Saturday evening shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian attack on oil infrastructure and a warehouse operated by the Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries in Moscow, according to reports. The strike was part of a broader campaign that has killed at least eight people in Wildberries facilities in the Tambov and Moscow regions.
A video posted on Saturday evening, Jerusalem time, shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike that hit both oil infrastructure and a Wildberries warehouse in Moscow, according to reports. The footage, circulating on social media, appears to show damage and fire at the site. The strike marks an expansion of the ongoing Ukrainian campaign to include oil targets in the capital, after earlier attacks focused on Wildberries facilities.
Earlier on Saturday, at 12:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses in the Tambov and Moscow regions had killed at least eight people. The reports evolved from an initial claim of dozens killed, to at least seven, and then to eight confirmed. The strikes in the Moscow region were confirmed in the same thread, with the death toll rising from seven to eight.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Ukraine has targeted oil depots and refineries across southern Russia in recent weeks. The Wildberries corporation, Russia's largest e-commerce platform, has seen its warehouses repeatedly struck in what analysts describe as a strategy to disrupt the Russian domestic economy and supply chains.
The specific location in Moscow, the extent of the damage to both the oil infrastructure and the warehouse, and any additional casualties remain unconfirmed.
