Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Targets Including Wildberries Warehouse
Ukrainian drone strikes killed two people and caused fires at multiple locations along Russia's Volga River, including a warehouse belonging to Wildberries, the country’s largest online retailer. Regional officials reported damage to civil infrastructure in Saratov and Bashkortostan regions as well. Ukraine has been intensifying attacks on Russian economic targets like energy facilities and logistics hubs since mid-July, aiming to weaken Moscow's war effort. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it intercepted 635 Ukrainian drones overnight. The strikes mark a continuation of Kyiv’s strategy to target deeper into Russia, with Wildberries being hit at least a dozen times in recent weeks due to its critical role in the Russian consumer economy.
