Ukraine strikes one of Wildberries’ largest warehouses near Moscow
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 launched a drone strike against one of Wildberries' largest warehouses near Moscow, targeting a facility that covers approximately 250,000 square meters. The area, located in the village of Koledino within Russia's Moscow Oblast, is utilized for storing, sorting, and distributing dual-use goods. Ukrainian drones struck the facility, resulting in a major fire, according to Fire Point.
Wildberries acknowledged the loss of a substantial portion of their warehouse space, estimating around 1.18 million square meters, or roughly 12.7 million square feet, in total. This series of Ukrainian drone attacks has significantly impacted the company's operations and the broader Russian economy, with Wildberries' turnover reportedly declining by about a quarter due to the loss of logistics capacity and seller exodus.
Russian media reported Russian air defenses successfully shot down 105 drones heading towards Moscow overnight on August 15-16, with explosions and air defense activity reported in various locations across the region.
