Ukraine's drone campaign against Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, is increasingly disrupting the country's logistics network far from the front lines.
In the latest incident, a Wildberries warehouse in Yekaterinburg, more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was hit by long-range drones and caught fire. Around 800 employees were evacuated, with no injuries reported.
The strike is part of a wider campaign targeting the company's logistics infrastructure. More than a dozen Wildberries depots have reportedly been hit in recent weeks, affecting warehouses across several Russian regions.
The attacks have disrupted deliveries and reduced the company's storage capacity, putting pressure on thousands of businesses and sellers that rely on the platform to move their goods. Reuters previously reported that the strikes had damaged roughly 10 percent of Wildberries' logistics capacity.
Ukraine says some targeted facilities were being used to support Russia's military supply chain, while the Kremlin has denied that Wildberries handles military supplies.
The campaign highlights Kyiv's expanding use of long-range drones to strike deep inside Russia, while Moscow faces growing pressure to protect critical infrastructure and limit the economic impact of the attacks.
As disruptions continue, the damage is increasingly being felt not only by military-linked facilities, but also across Russia's wider consumer economy.
