Ukraine Targets Wildberries Warehouses with Drones
Ukraine used drones to set fire to a Wildberries warehouse in the Russian city of Penza, hurting one person and moving about 200 people out of the building.
Wildberries said it is moving its deliveries to other places.
Another warehouse in Sarapul was also hit, but nobody was hurt.
Ukraine says the attacks are because Wildberries sells items that can be used by the Russian army, like parts for drones and body armor.
Some people think attacking a private company isn’t a good war strategy, but Ukraine says it helps stop the army from getting supplies.
Ukrainian drone attack set fire to Wildberries warehouse in Penza, injuring one and evacuating about 200 people.
Wildberries redirected supply chains and reorganised logistics after the Penza strike.
Another warehouse in Sarapul was hit, with no injuries reported.
Ukraine has targeted Wildberries warehouses since July 18‑19, citing sale of dual‑use items to Russian forces.
Observers question the strategic value of attacking a private retailer, while Ukrainian officials claim military purpose.
