Ukrainian FP-1 kamikaze drones struck a Wildberries logistics hub in Russia's Leningrad Oblast, one of the marketplace's largest facilities in northwestern Russia, Fire Point said, releasing footage it said showed the strike and resulting fire on Aug. 3.
On August 3, Ukrainian FP-1 kamikaze drones targeted a significant Wildberries logistics hub in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, causing a fire that Fire Point captured on video. Wildberries' logistics hub spans approximately 154,000 square meters, capable of storing over 57 million items concurrently. Furthermore, the facility had been utilized to transport military and dual-use goods, and it serves as a storage, sorting, and distribution center for Russia's Northwestern Federal District.
Reports emerged on August 4 indicating additional drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses in Chekhov, Moscow Oblast; however, Wildberries has yet to provide a statement on this incident. Ukraine's Defense Forces commenced attacks on Wildberries logistics centers on July 18, with the total area of targeted warehouses reaching between 1.21 million to 1.47 million square meters as of August 2.
This represents 17.2% to 22.2% of Wildberries' publicly announced 5.2 million square meters of logistics infrastructure. At least 18 warehouses have been affected, including sites in Elektrostal, Krasnodar, Nevinnomyssk, Voronezh, Yekaterinburg, and St. Petersburg. The most significant loss was the 250,000-square-meter logistics center in Elektrostal, which was completely obliterated by fire.
