Krasny Bor is home to several major logistics centers, including a Wildberries warehouse with a total area of approximately 154,000 square meters.
Drones also struck the industrial zone of the city of Chekhov in Russia's Moscow region. According to ASTRA, Wildberries warehouse facilities were among the targets, with a fire breaking out after the strike.

Moscow region Governor Andrei Vorobyov confirmed the drone attack on Chekhov, stating that multiple fires erupted in the Novosyolki industrial zone. He said the largest blaze occurred at one of the warehouses and had since been extinguished.
Vorobyov added that the attack also damaged an electrical substation and an administrative building.
Why it matters
The strikes on Wildberries’ logistics network appear to be affecting Russia's military supply chain as well. Yurii Fedorenko, commander of Ukraine's 429th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade, said Russian forces have begun limiting access to drone-related equipment after Ukrainian attacks destroyed stockpiles of unmanned systems components stored at Wildberries logistics centers.

Speaking to ArmyTV, Fedorenko said the restrictions apply to components such as cameras, propellers, controllers, batteries, and other parts used to assemble and upgrade drones.
“The enemy and its specialized units were forced to introduce limits on the use of unmanned drones. Cameras, propellers, controllers, batteries, and other components needed for manufacturing and upgrading drones burned in huge quantities at the warehouses that were struck.”
Fedorenko said the targeted facilities had served both commercial and military purposes, acting as logistics hubs for civilian goods while also supporting Russia's armed forces.
By August 2, Ukrainian drone attacks had knocked out 16 of Wildberries' largest logistics centers, leaving nearly two-thirds of its biggest warehouse complexes inoperable over a two-week period.
According to Russian Forbes, the disruptions have generated an estimated $3.5 billion in losses for marketplace sellers, with hundreds of thousands of businesses likely affected.
