Drones hit Wildberries hub 1,600 km away from Ukraine — video
Strike drones targeted a major Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg, roughly 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) from Ukraine's border, monitoring channel Supernova+ reported on Aug. 31.
On August 31, monitoring channel Supernova+ reported that drones targeted a major Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg, which is located approximately 1,600 kilometers from Ukraine's border. Footage showed drones circling over the distribution facility, with one UAV detonating near the main warehouse structure. Independent Russian Telegram channel Astra corroborated the attack on Yekaterinburg.
Previously, Ukrainian forces had struck a Wildberries logistics hub in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast on August 26, causing a massive fire that paralyzed operations at the facility. This attack marked the eighth out of Wildberries’ ten largest distribution centers to be forced to halt operations due to targeted Ukrainian strikes since mid-July.
The strikes disabled seven of the company’s ten flagship fulfillment hubs, including two in Moscow Oblast, one in Voronezh Oblast, two in Leningrad Oblast, two in Tula Oblast, one in Samara Oblast, and one in Vladimir Oblast. Out of approximately 1.6 million square meters of capacity across these ten largest hubs, over 1.3 million square meters — more than 81% — has now been taken offline.
