Wildberries warehouse catches fire after Ukrainian drone strike in Vladimir region

Russian online retailer Wildberries announced on Monday that a Ukrainian drone strike hit one of its warehouses in the Vladimir region, igniting a fire that authorities are working to contain. The incident marks the latest in a series of attacks on the company’s facilities, which the firm describes as “the country’s Amazon,” and underscores the heightened vulnerability of commercial sites amid the ongoing conflict.

Wildberries, Russia’s largest e‑commerce platform, has been targeted by Ukrainian drones multiple times in recent weeks, prompting heightened security measures at its distribution centers. While the extent of the damage to the Vladimir warehouse has not been disclosed, the company confirmed that operations at the site were temporarily halted and that fire‑fighting crews were deployed promptly. The repeated strikes on the retailer illustrate the broader pattern of infrastructure disruptions in the region, as both sides continue to employ unmanned aerial systems in the conflict.
