On the night of August 4, drones struck yet another large-scale logistics facility belonging to the Wildberries marketplace—this time in the town of Krasny Bor in the Tosno District of the Leningrad Region.

Exilenova+ reports this.

As a result of the strike, a massive fire broke out on the territory of the warehouse complex, and the flames quickly engulfed a significant portion of the premises.

Shortly before the strike, the governor of the Leningrad Region reported a massive drone attack, noting in particular that Russian air defense forces had shot down 23 drones.

Krasny Bor is home to one of the region’s largest warehouse complexes, covering an area of over 150,000 square meters, which plays a critical role in logistics for the northwestern part of Russia.

As a reminder, due to the drone attacks, Wildberries is urgently seeking warehouse space in Kazakhstan to move part of its logistics operations out of harm’s way. In Russia itself, Wildberries has faced critical problems: local property owners are refusing to sign new lease agreements due to high risks.
