Retaliatory Strikes Against Russia’s Warehouse Infrastructure Have Begun: Wildberries Terminals in Moscow and Tambov Regions are on Fire

Strike drones of the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked Wildberries warehouses in the Moscow and Tambov regions.

This was reported by the Astra news outlet.

As a result of the successful attack by the 1st Center of Unmanned Systems Forces, a warehouse in the city of Elektrostal in the Moscow region was completely destroyed, while in the city of Kotovsk in the Tambov region, the strike sparked a fire inside the warehouses.

As of 10 a.m. Kyiv time, a large-scale fire at the Wildberries logistics center in Moscow continues, and smoke from the blaze is visible 50 km from the epicenter.

The logistics center in Elektrostal that was attacked is considered Wildberries’ second-largest facility in terms of order processing volume.

Andrey Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region, also confirmed the attack on the warehouse logistics center. He wrote on his Telegram page that a fire broke out after a drone crashed on the grounds of the Wildberries warehouse.

Wildberries is Russia’s largest marketplace, often referred to as the Russian equivalent of Amazon. Wildberries’ logistics complexes are key elements of the company’s infrastructure.

It is through these complexes that millions of items are received, sorted, stored, and shipped to customers throughout Russia.

In addition to civilian goods, Wildberries also advertises military equipment on its website: body armor, optical gimbals for drones, drones themselves, and drone accessories, emphasizing in its ads that these items are intended for the so-called “special military operation.”

The attacks are in response to the systematic strikes on Nova Poshta terminals and sorting centers in Lutsk, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, and other cities that have been taking place since early 2026.

Each time, the company reported damage to civilian infrastructure, the destruction of shipments, and the activation of backup logistics routes to keep operations running.

In addition, during such attacks, terminal employees were caught in Russian strikes, resulting in repeated deaths and injuries among the company’s workers.

In addition to the storage terminal, on July 18, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in the city of Noginsk in the Moscow region, located 50 km from Moscow.
