Fire reported at Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Samara region following attack.
A fire has broken out at a Wildberries warehouse in Russia's Samara region following an attack, according to a statement from the company’s press service. The incident occurred on Sunday and was reported via video footage circulating on social media. The flames engulfed the building, producing large plumes of black smoke that could be seen billowing into the sky.
Wildberries, the Russian online retailer founded in 2004 by billionaire Tatyana Kim, operates as the country's largest e-commerce platform. In July, Ukrainian forces targeted multiple Wildberries logistics facilities across Russia as part of Kyiv’s "long-range sanctions" campaign against Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that these warehouses were involved in supplying drone parts and navigation equipment for the Russian military.
The company's press service reported no casualties from the fire at this time, but noted that logistics chains had been reorganized to handle deliveries and dispatches at other facilities. The receipt of deliveries and dispatch of orders are now being managed from alternative locations.
In a separate development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy provided an update on Russian strikes against Ukraine. According to his statement, Russian forces launched approximately 1,900 drones, roughly 1,600 aerial bombs, and 144 missiles across 16 regions of the country this week. Zelenskyy specifically mentioned that Sumy was struck by aerial bombs, while in Brovary, one person was killed and six were injured due to a drone strike.
The Ukrainian air force reported that Russia attacked Ukraine with 133 drones and loitering munitions overnight. Preliminary data indicated that as of 8:00 am, air defenses had shot down or neutralized 109 enemy UAVs of various types, including Shahed, Gerber, Italmas, Banderole loitering munitions, and other drone models in the north, south, and east regions.
Zelenskyy also highlighted that Ukrainian forces targeted Russia's Saratov oil refinery and Engels military air base overnight. Additionally, an oil depot in Kaluga and a facility involved in the storage of attack drones in Bryansk were hit by Russian strikes.
In his latest appeal for support, Zelenskyy renewed calls for more Patriot missiles from international partners. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that anti-ballistic missiles are crucial to defending against Russian forces. He stated that while the world has Patriot missiles, what matters now is for partners to make a political decision to provide the necessary packages.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump appeared to backtrack on his previous promise to allow Ukraine to build its own Patriot missiles during a cabinet meeting. Despite having told Zelenskyy at the 2026 NATO summit in Turkey that Washington would give Ukraine a license to build Patriots, Trump said, "We have not agreed to that. We're talking about it. But it's a hard thing to give away that kind of technology."
