According to officials, a drone attack on August 26, 2026, caused a massive fire that completely destroyed a Wildberries warehouse in Kotovsk, Tambov Region, Russia. Tambov Region Governor Evgeniy Pervyshov reported that the logistics center was “completely destroyed by fire,” with approximately 100,000 square meters (1.1 million square feet) of the facility, equivalent to 14 soccer pitches, engulfed in flames. The attack resulted in two people being wounded.

The incident is part of Ukraine’s ongoing campaign to target Russian e-commerce retailers, which began in mid-July with attacks on Wildberries facilities and has recently expanded to include its main rival, Ozon. Reuters analysis of satellite imagery indicates that over 20 Wildberries and Ozon warehouses have been attacked, with at least 1.9 million square meters of warehouse space severely damaged by fire. These attacks target one of the fastest-growing sectors of the Russian economy, which has otherwise faced stagnation following 4.5 years of war in Ukraine. Read more at Yahoo News
