Ukrainian Drones Destroy Wildberries Warehouse in Russia Amid Ongoing Drone Campaign

Analysed 26 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Tambov, Russia·Politics
Ukrainian Drones Destroy Wildberries Warehouse in Russia Amid Ongoing Drone CampaignPreviousNext

Ukrainian long-range drones struck and destroyed a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Tambov region for the second time in just over a month, causing a large fire and injuries. Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, has been repeatedly targeted amid Ukraine's broader drone campaign against commercial and oil facilities in Russia. Kyiv claims the company sells goods used by the Russian military, which Wildberries denies. The attacks have also affected Russian civilians and prompted government measures to protect critical infrastructure.
