More warehouses of Russian online retailer Wildberries hit by Ukraine, officials say

What the report says

BBC World News reported that Ukrainian drones struck logistics sites operated by Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, in the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions overnight Tuesday. The company’s founder, Tatyana Kim, and regional officials said 15 people were injured and workers were evacuated from the affected hubs in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.

According to the BBC, Stavropol Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said five people were hurt at a warehouse complex near Nevinnomyssk and received outpatient care. Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said 10 people were injured at a warehouse complex in Krasnodar, including three in serious condition. Kondratyev also reported a wider overnight attack in the region, saying a strike on a company in Armavir killed one worker; local authorities said an oil depot there was hit by drones and caught fire. Drone debris also reportedly damaged residential buildings and homes, with no injuries reported in those incidents.

The latest strikes followed attacks four days earlier on Wildberries warehouses in Tambov and Elektrostal, which the BBC said killed eight people and injured 62. Kyiv has claimed Wildberries facilities have been used to supply components for Russian drones and navigation equipment, though Ukraine had not confirmed or detailed the new overnight attacks at the time of the BBC report.

The BBC also cited Serhii Kuzan, chairman of the Ukrainian Security and Cooperation Centre, who previously said Wildberries’ platform had been used by Russian volunteers to acquire military equipment. The reported attacks point to Ukraine’s continued focus on Russian logistics and dual-use supply chains as part of the wider war.
