Footage published by the outlet captures drones circling over the Wildberries distribution facility, with one UAV detonating just short of the main warehouse structure.
Independent Russian Telegram channel Astra likewise corroborated that Yekaterinburg came under drone attack.
Yekaterinburg sits approximately 1,600 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
On Aug. 7, UAVs struck the Wildberries logistics hub in Yekaterinburg, sparking a fire.
Overnight into Aug. 26, Ukrainian forces struck a Wildberries logistics complex in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast. The attack ignited an inferno spanning approximately 100,000 square meters (over 1 million square feet), effectively paralyzing operations at the facility.
According to media calculations, Kotovsk hub became the eighth out of Wildberries’ ten largest distribution centers forced to halt operations following targeted Ukrainian strikes launched since mid-July.
Prior Ukrainian strikes disabled seven of the company’s ten flagship fulfillment hubs:
In Moscow Oblast's Elektrostal and Koledino (each measuring 250,000 square meters) — the former burned down completely following a July 18 attack, while the latter ceased operations after strikes and fires on Aug. 16;
In Nova Usman, Voronezh Oblast (156,000 square meters) — paralyzed after an Aug. 11 strike;
In Krasny Bor, Leningrad Oblast (154,000 square meters) — shuttered after an Aug. 4 attack;
In Aleksin, Tula Oblast (150,000 square meters) — out of service following an Aug. 5 attack;
In Novosemeykino, Samara Oblast (128,000 square meters) — disabled after an Aug. 2 strike;
In the Sobinka district of Vladimir Oblast (119,000 square meters) — knocked offline following an Aug. 3 raid.
Out of approximately 1.6 million square meters of capacity across the company’s ten largest hubs, more than 1.3 million square meters — exceeding 81% — has now been taken offline.
