Ukrainian drones struck a Wildberries logistics hub in Russia’s Voronezh region overnight, setting the facility ablaze, according to regional governor Alexander Gusev and the company . The attack is the latest in a three-week campaign targeting the e-commerce giant, with 23 Wildberries warehouses hit across Russia, The New York Times reported .
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces commander confirmed the Voronezh strike and a series of other attacks on Russian facilities . Wildberries, often called “Russia’s Amazon,” was founded in 2004 by Tatyana Kim and serves 79 million monthly users, more than half of Russia’s population, with 95,000 pickup points nationwide . Ukraine claims the company aids Russia’s war effort, a charge Wildberries denies .
The strikes on Wildberries follow a broader Ukrainian drone offensive deep into Russian territory, including a petrochemical plant in western Siberia and an oil refinery in Orsk . Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said such deep strikes aim to demonstrate to Russia that “peace is necessary” .
Meanwhile, Russia launched a new wave of missile and drone strikes on Ukraine overnight, killing at least nine people in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk, according to regional authorities . Zelenskyy accused Russia of using North Korean ballistic missiles in the Zaporizhzhia attack, which killed six and injured 20 . He warned that Russia’s reliance on North Korean equipment signals an escalation and urged Western partners to increase sanctions and air defense support .
Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its strikes targeted military logistics and industrial sites, including Kyiv’s Nova Poshta sorting complex and the Zaporizhstal steel plant in Zaporizhzhia, which it said produces materials for military use . Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 A pause in shelling is unlikely: Russia is fulfilling its missile production plan – Deputy Head of Ukraines Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Skibitsky. For major missile types, Russia is currently fulfilling its production plan at 110-120 per month. The annual plan for Zircons and modernized Onyx missiles was completed in seven months. In August, Moscow plans to produce 11,000 strike drones of various types. Russia is currently retooling its production, with a focus on turbojet Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones. The increase in ballistic missile production happened in part because since April they suspended production of Kinzhals and Kh-32 missiles. Funds and components for them were reallocated to other missile types. Russia is creating a Starlink analog – Rassvet – and is deploying it significantly faster than their plans had assumed. For now they are operating fragmentarily, when the satellite passes over Ukrainian territory. Russia is concentrating its attacks on Ukraines defense-industrial complex, logistics, and energy facilities that logistics and port infrastructure depend on. Additionally, it is trying to strike civilian infrastructure to sow panic and destabilize the situation in the country. In July, Russia launched 153 cruise missiles and 198 ballistic and hypersonic missiles. In the future, the Russian Armed Forces may reduce the number of missiles targeting a single objective, but a pause in shelling is unlikely – this will depend on production capabilities.
