Video: Wildberries' Largest Warehouse in Russia Destroyed by Drones in the Moscow Region
On the night of August 15–16, a massive fire broke out at the Wildberries logistics complex in the village of Koledino, in the city of Podolsk, Moscow Oblast, Russian Federation.
The warehouse covers an area of more than 200,000 square meters. Local residents posted footage of the fire, which engulfed part of the facility.
There are also reports of a fire at the “Northern Domodedovo” sorting and logistics complex in Domodedovo.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated that approximately 600 drones were allegedly flying toward the Moscow Region overnight, 201 of which, he said, were shot down by Russian air defense forces in the Moscow Region.
Losses incurred by the Russian marketplace Wildberries and its sellers due to strikes on warehouse infrastructure could reach nearly $12 billion. Ukrainian attacks have put all of the company’s large warehouses out of commission and disabled about one-third of its total warehouse capacity.
As a reminder, in Russia’s Tver Region, a drone damaged a Wildberries warehouse. The facility is located approximately 150 km from Moscow, and its area, according to preliminary data, was estimated at about 150,000 square meters.
Attacks on Wildberries could exacerbate Russia’s economic problems — The Wall Street Journal.
