Russia’s biggest online retailer, Wildberries, has reportedly closed another warehouse after what Reuters described as widening Ukrainian attacks. The development points to growing pressure on commercial operations inside Russia as the war increasingly affects major private businesses.
Reports indicate this was the second time Ukrainian drones had struck the company. While the available details are limited, the latest shutdown suggests that Wildberries’ logistics network is facing repeated disruption, with warehouse activity directly affected by the attacks.
Because Wildberries plays a major role in Russian e-commerce, any warehouse closure could slow deliveries and complicate fulfillment. Even without broader operational details, the incident highlights how attacks linked to the conflict are reaching beyond military targets and creating knock-on effects for everyday commerce.
The reported strike adds to a wider pattern in which the war is increasingly touching infrastructure tied to daily economic life. For Wildberries, another warehouse shutdown underlines the risks that continued drone attacks pose to Russia’s retail and distribution sector.
