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.
The company said the site is one of Wildberries’ largest logistics complexes, covering about 250,000 square meters, or roughly 2.7 million square feet.
“The facility is used for the storage, sorting and distribution of dual-use goods,” Fire Point said.
Moscow and the surrounding region came under a large-scale drone attack overnight on Aug. 15-16.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed Russian air defenses had shot down 105 drones heading toward the capital.
Russian Telegram channels reported explosions and air defense activity in Domodedovo, Chekhov, the Stupino district and Podolsk.
A major fire was subsequently reported at the Wildberries logistics complex in Moscow Oblast. Initial Russian reports said the warehouse facility covered more than 200,000 square meters.
Wildberries strikes — what is known
Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries warehouses have grown into a large-scale campaign.
At least 20 of the company’s logistics centers have been targeted by Ukrainian drones, with some facilities completely destroyed by fires, Reuters reported.
Wildberries has lost around 1.18 million square meters, or about 12.7 million square feet, of warehouse space.
The attacks have already affected the company’s operations and the wider Russian economy.
Wildberries’ turnover has reportedly fallen by roughly a quarter amid the loss of logistics capacity and an exodus of sellers.
Russian outlet Agentstvo, citing a source close to the Kremlin, also reported that Russia could face a wave of bankruptcies among entrepreneurs who sold goods through Wildberries and lost their inventory in attacks on the marketplace’s logistics centers.
