Deep Drone Strike: Logistics Warehouses Targeted in Expanded Ukrainian Campaign
In a significant escalation of its long-range strike capabilities, Ukraine has successfully targeted two major logistics centers belonging to the Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries. The attacks, carried out by long-range drones, underscore a deliberate and expanding campaign to disrupt supply chains deep within Russian territory.
Local sources and military analysts confirm that the overnight drone strikes hit facilities located in the Moscow region and another yet-unspecified location. The Wildberries warehouses, vast fulfillment hubs housing millions of items from electronics to clothing, were reportedly engulfed in flames following the precision strikes. Emergency services in the affected areas scrambled to contain the blazes, with local authorities confirming significant structural damage but no immediate civilian casualties reported on the ground.
This operation marks a tactical shift, moving beyond typical energy and military infrastructure targets to focus on the logistical backbone of the Russian economy. By striking at e-commerce fulfillment centers, Ukraine aims to create tangible economic pressure on the Russian populace and complicate the Kremlin’s internal supply networks. Experts suggest these strikes could cause significant delays in order fulfillment for millions of Russians, potentially fueling domestic discontent.
The Kyiv Post has learned that Ukrainian defense officials are framing these strikes as a legitimate disruption of infrastructure that supports the Russian war effort. The drones used in the operations are believed to be domestically produced models, capable of traveling hundreds of kilometers to hit high-value targets. As the conflict enters its next phase, the targeting of major logistics hubs signals a clear message: no corner of the Russian rear is safe from Kyiv’s reach. The expanding logistics campaign reinforces Ukraine’s strategic objective of degrading Russia’s ability to supply both its military and its civilian economy efficiently.
