Ukrainian drones targeted logistics hubs belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries for a second consecutive night, igniting massive fires at fulfillment facilities across southern Russia, according to local officials and monitoring channels. The latest wave of strikes hit major distribution centers in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk in Stavropol Krai, marking a continued expansion of Kyiv’s campaign against commercial infrastructure supporting Moscow’s war effort.
Eyewitnesses in Krasnodar reported hearing dozens of explosions overnight before flames engulfed one of Wildberries’ largest regional hubs.
Simultaneously, a secondary strike ignited a massive blaze at the company’s Nevinnomyssk facility, prompting Wildberries founder Tatyana Kim to confirm that operations at both locations had been suspended. The strikes follow earlier attacks that hit Wildberries facilities in Moscow and Tambov oblasts, which killed eight people and destroyed billions of rubles in commercial inventory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy defended the targeted strikes on the e-commerce titan—frequently referred to as “Russia’s Amazon”—stating that the logistics hubs were being utilized by Russian forces to store and transport sanctioned components for drone production and military navigation systems. The repeated aerial assaults have severely disrupted Russia’s domestic supply chains, wiping out an estimated 7% of Wildberries’ total logistics capacity and leaving thousands of local merchants facing catastrophic inventory losses.
