On August 13, 2026, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a powerful strike on one of the key logistics centers of the Wildberries marketplace in the Chishminsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Satellite images published throughout the day recorded the colossal consequences of the attack: fire destroyed approximately 30,000 square meters of warehouse space. This accounts for about one-fifth of the entire complex, which is one of the largest hubs for storing and sorting goods in the region. ### Scale of Destruction and Satellite Analysis An analysis of images taken on the day of August 13 demonstrates not only the zone of direct fire impact but also traces of UAV hits on the roof in other parts of the building. This suggests that the actual destruction within the complex may be significantly more extensive than what is visible from the surface. The fire engulfed a huge area, turning part of the logistics center into ruins. Experts note that such strikes on critical infrastructure of Russian commerce deal a blow not only to the company's economy but to the entire supply chain in the country. ### Systemic Attack on Wildberries Logistics This incident became the 21st Wildberries logistics center damaged or destroyed as a result of Ukrainian attacks, which began on July 18, 2026. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are demonstrating a systematic approach to strikes on the warehouse capacities of the marketplace deep into Russian territory. According to estimates by the analytical agency Data Insight, at least 12 major warehouse complexes have been almost completely destroyed to date. The company has lost about a third of its warehouse capacity, and the total damage is estimated at billions of dollars. ### Strategic Consequences for Business Against the backdrop of ongoing attacks, the owner of the Wildberries marketplace is forced to seek alternative solutions to ensure business operations. In particular, there are reports of an urgent search for warehouse space in Kazakhstan. This indicates that the Russian side is trying to diversify logistics routes to minimize the risks of new strikes. Simultaneously with the strike on the Wildberries warehouse, on the same day in Bashkortostan, one of the country's largest oil refineries was on fire, highlighting the ability of Ukrainian drones to cover huge distances — in this case, about 1400 km. ### Official Reaction and Investigation In response to the attack, Russian law enforcement agencies initiated a criminal case. The Investigative Committee classified the incident as a terrorist act. Official representatives emphasize the scale of the damage and the need to protect critical infrastructure. However, despite the tightening of security measures, including air defense operations, Ukrainian drones continue to reach targets in the deep rear, causing significant economic damage. ### Contradictory Data There are discrepancies in assessments of the readiness of the attacked object. According to the publication "Oborot", the attacked warehouse in Bashkortostan was still an unfinished logistics center, which may indicate that the actual losses in terms of ready-to-operate capacities were less than they appear at first glance. At the same time, satellite images and data from RBC-Ukraine indicate that the complex was already functioning as a major hub, and the fire destroyed a significant part of the operating infrastructure. This contradiction requires further clarification: was the facility fully commissioned, or did the attack disrupt the completion of construction and the commissioning of new capacities. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Investigative Committee opens terrorism case after UAV attack on Wildberries warehouse in Bashkiria](https://fedpress.ru/news/02/incidents/3447780) - Подтверждает факт атаки и возбуждение дела. - [Unfinished Wildberries logistics center in Bashkortostan attacked by UAVs - fire occurred](https://oborot.ru/news/nedostroennyj-logocentr-wildberries-v-bashkortostane-byl-atakovan-bpla-proizoshel-pozhar-i276480.html) - Указывает на то, что объект мог быть недостроенным, что создает противоречие с оценкой ущерба. - [In Yekaterinburg, drones attacked another Wildberries warehouse: columns of smoke over trucks (video)](https://focus.ua/voennye-novosti/762228-udary-po-wildberries-drony-doleteli-do-sklada-v-ekaterinburge-video) - Подтверждено по источнику focus.ua - [Aimed at Wildberries, but Air Defense diverted to the neighbor: warehouse of 18 thousand sq.m burns near Moscow](https://zn.ua/war/tsel-wildberries-a-pvo-perevela-ohon-na-soseda-pod-moskvoj-horit-sklad-ploshchadju-18-tysjach-kvadratov.html) - Подтверждено по источнику zn.ua ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Where exactly did the strike on Wildberries take place? **A:** The strike was launched at a logistics center in the Chishminsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan. ### Q: What damage was done to the warehouse? **A:** Fire destroyed about 30,000 square meters, which is approximately one-fifth of the complex. ### Q: How many Wildberries warehouses were attacked in total? **A:** As of August 13, 2026, this is the 21st logistics center damaged or destroyed since July 18. ### Q: Why is there a contradiction about the warehouse status? **A:** Some sources report that it is an operating major hub, while others (e.g., "Oborot") indicate that the facility was still unfinished.
