Six Killed in Ukrainian Drone Strikes on Russia, Wildberries Warehouses Hit Again

POLICY WIRE — Moscow, Russia — At least six individuals were confirmed dead following Ukrainian drone attacks across various regions in Russia, according to local officials who shared the updates on the messaging app Telegram on Tuesday. The strikes notably targeted warehouses belonging to Wildberries, a major Russian e-commerce company, for the second consecutive night.

The attacks have caused significant damage, including fires at the Wildberries facilities. Emergency services were deployed to manage the situation — and extinguish the fires. The extent of the structural damage — and the financial impact on the company are yet to be fully assessed.

Russian authorities haven’t yet commented on the broader implications of these attacks or any potential retaliatory measures. The Ukrainian government has also remained silent on whether it was directly involved in the drone strikes.

This incident marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, highlighting the increasing use of drone technology in modern warfare. The targeted nature of these attacks suggests a strategic effort to disrupt Russian supply chains — and logistics.
