Wildberries Logistics Complex Near Voronezh Ablaze After Drone Strike

On the night of August 11, Ukrainian drones struck the logistics facility of Russian online marketplace Wildberries near Voronezh, sparking a large-scale fire.

Videos and photos from the scene published by monitoring channels and analyzed by Militarnyi show the aftermath of the strike.

The targeted facility is located near the village of Novaya Usman in the Novousmansky District. It was fully opened at the end of 2025.

The facility covers 152,900 square meters and can hold more than 90 million items.

Wildberries said overnight that employees in the region had been evacuated.

“Wildberries’ logistics facilities in the Voronezh region have been evacuated in accordance with safety requirements,” the company said.

In the Voronezh region, a drone attack warning was issued shortly after midnight. At around 1 a.m., Governor Alexander Gusev announced an air-raid alert in Voronezh itself and the surrounding areas.

In the morning, he reported that fires broke out at two warehouses belonging to a major company in the Novousmansky District following the “fall” of a drone.

At one facility, the fire was contained to an area of 16,000 square meters, while firefighters were still battling a blaze covering 20,000 square meters at the other. According to him, debris also damaged three trucks and one passenger car.
