Strikes on Wildberries
As previously reported, successful long-range strikes by Ukraine's Defense Forces on warehouses belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries have dealt a significant blow to Russia's economy. The direct losses from these attacks could reach $2 billion.
In particular, on July 18, Russians saw their "online purchases go up in flames" after a drone attack on a Wildberries warehouse outside Moscow. The resulting fire was visible from dozens of kilometers away.
On the night of July 22, the Russian city of Krasnodar came under a drone attack. A massive fire broke out at a Wildberries logistics center.
Later that same night, drones struck a Wildberries logistics center in Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol region. A major fire was also reported there, and local authorities confirmed the attack.
Satellite images released later showed the aftermath of the fires at the Wildberries warehouses, revealing the scale of the damage caused by the Ukrainian drone strikes.
