Ukrainian drone attacks targeted Wildberries logistics centers in St. Petersburg and Russian-occupied Crimea overnight on July 24, resulting in significant fires and injuries. The attacks are part of a series of strikes on the Russian e-commerce giant's facilities over the past week.
In St. Petersburg, residents shared videos on social media showing thick black smoke rising over parts of the city. The strikes were reported at the "Utkin Zavod" logistics park and another facility in the Shushary district. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov confirmed the drone attack on the city, stating that it targeted unspecified "civilian infrastructure facilities on Moskovskoye Highway." Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko later confirmed the attack on the Wildberries facility in Novosaratovka, claiming that three people were injured.
Wildberries' press service announced that the company's logistics centers in Shushary and Utkin Zavod in St. Petersburg have been "temporarily suspended" following the attack. Around 50 flights were delayed at St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport due to the attack.
In addition to St. Petersburg, explosions were heard in several cities across occupied Crimea, including Simferopol, Sudak, Yevpatoria, and Sevastopol. Electrical substations in Gaspra and near Feodosia were also attacked on the night of July 23.
The attacks on Wildberries warehouses are part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to target Russian infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alleged that the facilities were used to "supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment." Russia has denied that the company handles any military supplies.
Meanwhile, Russian forces launched attacks on Ukrainian cities, including Zaporizhzhia, where at least 25 people were injured in a Russian airstrike on Thursday evening. According to Ivan Fedorov, the region's governor, six of the injured are children. The attack damaged several vehicles, a kindergarten, and residential buildings.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate, with both sides conducting airstrikes and drone attacks on each other's territory. The international community has expressed concern over the ongoing violence and its impact on civilians.
