A single unverified report indicates that the Wildberries facility in Volgograd, Russia, has been destroyed. The cause and extent of the damage are not yet reported.
The initial unverified report that the Wildberries facility in Volgograd had been destroyed has been confirmed by multiple reports and footage emerging from the scene. The facility was struck by Ukrainian drones during a massive overnight barrage on the city early Friday morning, which also targeted the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka oil refinery, one of Russia's largest.
The Zioneer first reported at 02:44 Jerusalem on Friday that Ukrainian forces were attacking Volgograd. Within minutes, a report indicated that a Wildberries warehouse had been destroyed. Subsequent updates at the same hour detailed that the attack included a drone strike on the Wildberries distribution center—a 44,000-square-meter logistics hub—and the oil refinery. By version 5 of the report, footage confirmed the drone strike on the Wildberries facility, corroborating the initial unverified claim.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the attack was part of a broader Ukrainian drone operation on Volgograd. Russian monitoring channels reported UAVs operating in the city. The Wildberries distribution center is a key logistics node for the Russian e-commerce platform.
Casualty figures and the full extent of damage at the Wildberries facility remain unconfirmed. No official Russian statement has been issued regarding the destruction.
