Ukrainian Drone Strikes Hit Russian Warehouses
By TrendingWire Newsroom
Ukrainian drones have attacked warehouses belonging to a major Russian online retailer near Moscow and in the city of Tambov, according to reports. The strikes targeted facilities of Wildberries, one of Russia's largest e-commerce companies. Ukraine's President described the warehouses as "major logistics facilities" that were being used to supply "sanctioned components" to support Russia's military efforts. The attack comes amid ongoing hostilities between Ukraine and Russia, which began in February 2022. Both sides have increasingly used drones for long-range strikes. Russia has not commented on the reported damage or casualties. The incident highlights the expanding scope of the conflict, with economic infrastructure becoming a target. Wildberries is a prominent online retailer in Russia and neighboring countries. The company has not issued a statement about the attacks. This is not the first time Ukrainian forces have targeted logistics hubs inside Russia, as Kyiv seeks to disrupt supply chains supporting the Russian military. The war continues to impact civilians and businesses on both sides.
