Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast came under a drone attack with OSINT analysts reporting a strike on a warehouse operated by Russian retailer Wildberries on July 25.
According to the Exilenova+ monitoring channel, drones struck a warehouse site in Yekaterinburg. One of the drones hit a parking lot near the facility, sparking a fire.
OSINT analysts at Astra determined that the drones struck the warehouse grounds on Perspektivnaya Street, setting vehicles in the parking lot on fire.
Yekaterinburg is about 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
Authorities in Russia’s Sverdlovsk Oblast issued a drone alert in the morning. The Kovyor emergency plan was activated at Yekaterinburg’s Koltsovo Airport.
Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, previously said Ukrainian drones had struck six Wildberries warehouses in Russia, including facilities in Moscow and Leningrad oblasts.
On July 24, large fires broke out at the logistics company’s facilities in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, Tver and Russian-occupied Simferopol following strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
