- Ukraine struck another warehouse belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries in a long-range drone attack, marking a repeat hit on Russia's biggest retailer
- Kyiv justified the strike by stating that Wildberries stores drone components used by Russia's military, recasting the commercial giant as a military supply node
- The attack targets civilian retail infrastructure as part of Ukraine's expanding campaign of long-range drone strikes inside Russian territory
Why it matters: By publicly naming Wildberries — Russia's largest e-commerce company — as a storage site for military drone components, Ukraine reframes a civilian retail giant as a legitimate dual-use target. The repeat strike shows this justification is being applied consistently, expanding the universe of Russian commercial sites Kyiv is willing to hit.
