Ukraine hits major Wildberries hub with FP-1 drones — Fire Point
Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck a major Wildberries logistics hub in the village of Koledino in Russia’s Moscow Oblast with Ukrainian FP-1 drones, Fire Point said, publishing footage of a massive fire at the facility.
Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted a significant Wildberries logistics hub in the Koledino village of Russia's Moscow Oblast using FP-1 drones, according to Fire Point. Footage showed a large fire engulfing the facility, covering approximately 250,000 square meters. The company noted that the site primarily stores, sorts, and distributes dual-use goods.
The assault on Moscow and surrounding areas occurred overnight on August 15-16, with Russian authorities claiming to have shot down 105 drones heading towards the capital. Reports emerged of explosions and air defense activity in various locations, including Domodedovo, Chekhov, Stupino district, and Podolsk. A major fire at the Wildberries logistics complex in Moscow Oblast was later confirmed.
Russian sources reported that the warehouse facility extended beyond 200,000 square meters. Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries warehouses have intensified, with at least 20 logistics centers targeted, some reduced to ashes by fire. Wildberries has suffered the loss of around 1.18 million square meters of warehouse space, impacting its operations and the broader Russian economy.
The company's turnover has reportedly declined by nearly a quarter due to reduced logistics capacity and a mass exodus of sellers. Russian media cited a Kremlin-affiliated source, warning of potential bankruptcies among entrepreneurs who relied on Wildberries and lost inventory in the attacks.
