Drones Strike Wildberries Logistics Hub Near Penza, Fire Rages

Ukrainian drones struck a logistics center belonging to Russian e-commerce marketplace Wildberries near Penza during the night of July 30.

The attack was captured in videos published by the Exilenova+ monitoring channel.

The strike triggered a large fire on the facility’s premises.

The targeted logistics center is one of Wildberries’ key distribution hubs, serving the Volga Federal District of the Russian Federation.

Penza Region Governor Oleg Melnychenko later confirmed the attack.

“There is an active fire at the warehouse site, and firefighters are battling the blaze,” he said.

Following the attack, the company announced that incoming deliveries and order shipments would be redirected to other logistics centers.

Around 200 employees were also reportedly evacuated from the warehouse.

The facility launched operations in October 2025. According to the Penza regional government, the first phase of the facility covered approximately 90,000–91,000 square meters. Once construction was completed, the total warehouse space was expected to reach 180,000 square meters.

According to eyewitness videos, the Ukrainian Defense Forces used Fire Point FP-1 long-range drones in the strike.

Yesterday morning, Ukrainian drones struck a Wildberries logistics center and an oil refinery in Ryazan. Fires broke out at both facilities following the strikes.

In addition, on the morning of July 24, Ukrainian drones hit two Wildberries logistics centers simultaneously – one in St Petersburg and another in the Leningrad region.
