Two Wildberries logistics warehouses near St Petersburg were set on fire following reported Ukrainian drone strikes on Friday (July 24) morning, with three people injured and operations at both facilities temporarily suspended, according to Russian regional authorities and the company.

OSINT project ASTRA said its analysis confirmed a second strike on a Wildberries warehouse in the Shushary settlement of St Petersburg after examining videos shared by eyewitnesses. The footage reportedly shows a fire at the logistics centre on Moskovskoye Shosse, a major hub for receiving, storing, sorting and dispatching goods.

The Shushary warehouse had previously been almost completely destroyed in a major fire in January 2024 before being rebuilt and resuming operations in 2025.

Earlier on Friday, ASTRA reported that another Wildberries warehouse in the village of Novosaratovka, in the Vsevolozhsky district of Russia's Leningrad region, had also been struck and caught fire.

Wildberries later confirmed that operations at its logistics centres in Shushary and Utkina Zavod had been temporarily suspended following the incidents.

Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed that a drone strike had hit the Novosaratovka warehouse, leaving three people with moderate injuries. He said the victims had been taken to hospital and were receiving medical treatment.

The governor also reported that warehouses belonging to the Severnaya poultry farm in the settlement of Sinyavino, in the Kirovsky district of the Leningrad region, were hit in a separate drone strike. According to Drozdenko, part of one warehouse collapsed, although no casualties were reported at the site.

The reported attacks come amid continued long-range drone strikes targeting infrastructure and logistics facilities deep inside Russian territory. Ukrainian authorities have not commented on the reported incidents.
