A Wildberries Depot in Russia Is Hit Again and Destroyed as Ukraine Extends Its Drone Campaign

The blaze destroyed the logistics center and injured two people, as Ukraine widens drone strikes on Russian e-commerce and supply facilities.

  • On Wednesday, Aug. 26, a drone attack ignited a massive fire at a Wildberries warehouse in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast, consuming about 100,000 square meters of the facility, Tambov Governor Evgeniy Pervyshov reported.
  • Ukrainian forces are targeting major Russian logistics hubs to diminish Moscow's economic capacity, striking a rapidly growing sector that is otherwise nearing stagnation after 4-1/2 years of war.
  • One employee was injured in the Kotovsk strike; recent attacks hit Ozon centers in Samara Oblast on Aug. 22 and in Orenburg overnight on Aug. 23, while falling drones killed three people in Lipetsk and Belgorod regions.
  • Targets in Russian-occupied Luhansk were struck by Ukrainian forces on Wednesday, causing large explosions and fire, while power outages swept Crimea's Bakhchysarai district and Simferopol late on Aug. 25.
  • The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify these reports; both Ukraine and Russia deny targeting civilians, though the military maintains its campaign against defense-industrial facilities and logistics hubs disrupting Moscow's war effort.
