Ukrainian drones destroyed eight warehouses belonging to Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer and marketplace, during July, with a combined area of around 860,000 square meters. This accounts for nearly 15.4% of the company’s total warehouse space (5.6 million square meters).
According to Ukrinform, the figures were reported by the Verstka outlet based on its own calculations.
Journalists noted that the biggest loss for the company was the warehouse in Elektrostal, Moscow region. Following a drone strike on July 18, a facility covering 250,000 square meters burned down, and one marketplace employee was killed.
Another approximately 170,000 square meters of Wildberries facilities were targeted by drones in Ryazan on July 29. Judging by photos and videos from the scene, the warehouse was completely engulfed in flames.
Following drone attacks, four more warehouses ranging in size from 100,000 to 108,000 square meters also burned down: in Kotovsk, Tambov region; Krasnodar; Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol region; and the Shushary district of St. Petersburg.
