A fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Perm following a drone attack, marking the third logistics hub of the online retailer reportedly struck, according to Russian outlet Agentstvo, citing OSINT analysis on July 30.

According to Exilenova+, a fire broke out at a Wildberries warehouse in the Perm suburb of Froly.

"Perm is located about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) from the Ukrainian border, making this the most distant successful attack on Wildberries warehouses," the agency said, adding that the marketplace's facilities have now been targeted in five Russian federal districts.

Meanwhile, the Russian Telegram channel Astra reported that the targeted logistics center is located in the village of Zamulyanka, which is part of the Frolovskoye rural settlement.

Neither local authorities nor Wildberries representatives have commented on the attack on the warehouse in Perm Krai.

On the morning of July 30, authorities in Perm Krai declared a drone threat and activated the Carpet plan, with officials reporting that air defense systems were operating in the area.

Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said the Defense Forces struck the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez oil refinery in Perm on July 29.

Earlier on July 30, drones were reported to have attacked a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Penza. Monitoring groups said the logistics center is one of the company's key distribution hubs serving Russia's Volga Federal District.

Drones also targeted a Wildberries logistics complex in the Russian city of Sarapul in the Udmurt Republic.

Col. Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, confirmed that additional Wildberries warehouses had been hit and indicated that the attacks would continue.
