Ukrainian drones launched an attack on a Wildberries  logistics facility in Russia's Perm region on July 30. This incident marked the third strike on the marketplace's storage facilities in a single day, following earlier hits on warehouse infrastructure in the Penza region and Udmurtia.

Located approximately 1,400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, the site near Perm represents the furthest successful strike against Wildberries infrastructure to date, according to Deutsche Welle.

Visual footage published by Ukrainian Telegram channels Supernova+ and Exilenova+ showed a fire at the facility in the village of Froli, near Perm. Froli and Zamulyanka are neighboring settlements in Russia’s Perm Krai that gained attention following a drone attack on a local logistics center.

Independent analysis of eyewitness footage by the Russian outlet Agentstvo and the Telegram channel ASTRA confirmed that the site of the fire was a Wildberries sorting center located in the village of Zamulyanka, just outside Perm.

Wildberries representatives have not released a statement regarding the incident. Meanwhile, Perm Krai Governor Dmitry Mahonin reported damage to two non-residential buildings following a drone attack.

He stated that debris from one intercepted drone fell on a residential plot in the Ochersky district without causing casualties, adding that Russian air defense units and mobile firing groups downed 30 drones during the day.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not issue an explicit statement confirming an attack on the Wildberries site.

However, official reports from July 30 noted overnight strikes in that direction, including a hit on the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez oil refinery in Perm, which holds an annual capacity of roughly 13 million tons of oil.

Strikes were also reported on the Prymorskyi Posad training ground in occupied Zaporizhzhia region, with the total extent of damages still being verified amid Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

On July 29, 2026, Ukrainian long-range FP-1 drones struck the Ryazan oil refinery and a major Wildberries logistics center, causing fires at both facilities.

Regional Governor Pavel Malkov confirmed that UAV debris started the blazes, while Wildberries temporarily restricted operations at its regional hub in the Ryazansky Industrial Park. The attack also hit the Rosneft-owned Ryazan oil refinery, a key supplier to the Moscow area capable of processing around 17 million metric tons of crude oil annually.
