According to Ukrinform, the figures were reported by the Verstka outlet based on its own calculations.
Journalists noted that the biggest loss for the company was the warehouse in Elektrostal, Moscow region. Following a drone strike on July 18, a facility covering 250,000 square meters burned down, and one marketplace employee was killed.
Another approximately 170,000 square meters of Wildberries facilities were targeted by drones in Ryazan on July 29. Judging by photos and videos from the scene, the warehouse was completely engulfed in flames.
Following drone attacks, four more warehouses ranging in size from 100,000 to 108,000 square meters also burned down: in Kotovsk, Tambov region; Krasnodar; Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol region; and the Shushary district of St. Petersburg.
In addition, fires broke out at Wildberries warehouses after drone attacks in Utkina Zavod district of St. Petersburg (16,900 square meters) and in temporarily occupied Simferopol (6,000 square meters).
However, not all Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries facilities were successful. Attacks on warehouses in Koledino in the Moscow region, Yekaterinburg, Voronezh, and Zelenodolsk in Tatarstan did not result in fires. In Voronezh, drones damaged the warehouse roof, while in Yekaterinburg they fell in a parking area.
