Ukraine's defence ministry said on Sunday it had knocked out seven of Wildberries' ten largest logistics centres, after the latest overnight drone barrage struck the company's 250,000-square-metre warehouse complex in Koledino, near Podolsk in the Moscow region. Wildberries confirmed the attack caused a fire and forced it to reconfigure supply chains, while regional governor Andrei Vorobyov said the blaze had been extinguished. A second warehouse in nearby Domodedovo was also hit the same night, and Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at least 187 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the wider area, where other strikes damaged shops and homes, wounding three people.
Since the campaign opened on the weekend of 18 July with strikes in Elektrostal and the Tambov region, roughly 20 Wildberries sites have been attacked, including facilities in Yekaterinburg, Bashkortostan, the Vladimir region, Penza, Ryazan, St Petersburg and Crimea. Kyiv says the aim is to disrupt military supply chains and apply financial pressure on lenders including VTB and Sberbank, which hold about 13 billion euros in Wildberries debt, against the company's reported annual turnover of 70 to 75 billion euros.
