Wildberries Logistics Centers Hit by Continuous Attacks, Impacting Russian E-commerce
Multiple logistics centers of Russian e-commerce platform Wildberries have been subjected to continuous drone attacks.
The attacks have affected warehouses in Krasnodar, the Moscow region, and other areas, resulting in casualties, fires, and significant inventory losses for the company and sellers.
This incident directly disrupts the delivery network of Russia's largest online shopping platform, driving an increase in alternative logistics and local retail demand, while putting pressure on the e-commerce supply chain and consumers' instant shopping experience.

As Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries handles a significant amount of civilian and some dual-use military goods distribution. Ukraine has targeted its logistics centers, citing the storage of drone components and other materials, continuing its strategy of remote strikes on Russia's economic infrastructure.
From a capital perspective, the continuous attacks force the platform and sellers to bear the costs of inventory and operational disruptions, redirecting funds from e-commerce fulfillment to emergency logistics, insurance, and local physical retail, while reinforcing the spillover effects of war on the civilian economy.
Similar cases can be seen in Ukraine's ongoing strikes on Russian oil refineries and ports, as well as previous drone actions against industrial facilities in the Moscow region; the current conflict is in a phase of consumption that balances frontline confrontation with economic targets in the rear.
This essentially represents a restructuring of the supply chain: key logistics nodes have become targets of war extension, with the mechanism being that remote precision strikes can paralyze civilian supply chains at low cost, forcing the opponent to shift resources from military to civilian recovery.
